Subject: preceding-sibling with sorted for-each From: felix@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Wed, 15 Mar 2000 16:00:02 +0100 |
Hi, I want to make a table out of a sorted tree. My data looks like this: <root> <movie title="One"> <date cinema="super" days="1-4" row="1"/> </movie> <movie title="Two"> <date cinema="test" days="6-7" row="1"/> </movie> <movie title="Three"> <date cinema="super" days="5" row="1"/> <date cinema="test" days="1-7" row="2"/> </movie> </root> The table should let span the movies over the columns according to their position in date/@days and they should get in date/@row row. All other tableentries should get a (and preferably do a colspan too). I tried to achieve this by sorting the nodes by the attributes days and row. But I can't decide wether the actual movie is in the same row as the last one, since I can't access the sorted preciding movie. I get a sorted list of the movies with this: <xsl:for-each select="movie/date[@cinema='super']"> <xsl:sort select="@row" data-type="text" order="ascending"/> <xsl:sort select="@days" data-type="text" order="ascending"/> <xsl:value-of select="../@title/> </xsl:for-each> Now I want to get the (sorted) preceding (and following) movie with something like: parent::node()/preceding-sibling::movie[1] The problem with the parent:: thing is, that it operates on the unsorted original data. So I tried to put the node-fragments I got in a variable, but I can't access the nodes afterwords anymore. How can I achieve that? Or alternatively, How can I change a variable-string into a node-set? (I have tried to output the sorted movies in a variable with <xsl:variable name="tree"> <xsl:for-each select="movie/date[@cinema='super']"> <xsl:sort select="@row" data-type="text" order="ascending"/> <xsl:sort select="@days" data-type="text" order="ascending"/> <xsl:copy-of select="..> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:variable> , but when I try to access it with something like $tree/movie it fails. Thanks for your attention. Felix Schumacher XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
