Subject: [xsl] Using XSL for a "world records" table From: Ryan Heise <rheise@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 18 May 2003 13:54:54 +1000 |
I am developing an xsl template that will produce a world records page in html. To see what I'm talking about, you can view the original records page, which is currently generated from a spreadsheet: http://www.speedcubing.com/records/recs_cube_333.html I have succeeded in handling the basic requirements in xsl, but I have run into a few problems: - notice in the existing records page that two people are tied for first place. In this case, they should both have "1" in the "Place" column. My current approach fails: when I sort on the time column and use the value of position() for place, it unfairly gives one of them second place. Is there another way? - recent records are given a yellow background so they stand out. To do this, I need to test if the record date is greater-than 14 days ago. My current idea for this is to store dates in yyyymmdd format, and pass the date of 14 days ago as an xsl parameter. Then colour yellow each record if its date is greater than the parameter. Can anyone think of a better way that doesn't require such a parameter? - the time field needs to be formatted for any value from hundredths of a second up to days or years. Will I need to write my own extension function to do the formatting, or does one exist already? Thanks for your help Ryan XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
