Re: [xsl] Fixed value only once in table

[omprakash.v@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi,
        As often suggested on this list, the best approach to this type of
problem is to first create the HTML you want and then proceed to code the
stylesheet. You can do this by adding a rowspan to the first column. Before
writing the first column, you would however need to check if it is the
first one like so:


<table width="100%" border="0">
<tbody>

<xsl:variable name="rows"
select="count(tc:MESSAGE/tc:CUSTOM-ATT/b:empty_cart/b:choice_of_extra)"/>

<xsl:for-each
select="tc:MESSAGE/tc:CUSTOM-ATT/b:empty_cart/b:choice_of_extra">
<tr>
<xsl:if test="position() == 1">
<td width="10%" rowspan="$rows">Extra</td>
</xsl:if>
<td width="10%"><xsl:value-of select="b:code"/></td>
<td width="80%"><xsl:value-of select="b:specification"/></td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</tbody>
</table>

Hope this helps.

cheers,
prakash

I want to produce a dynamic table which holds three columns. The first
column holds a fixed value (Extra) and should only occur on the first row.
The second and third column holds value from the xml-file and should be
dynamic.

The xml file looks like

<choice_of_extra>
<code>711</code>
<specification>Cleaning</specification>
</choice_of_extra>
<choice_of_extra>
<code>511</code>
<specification>New towels</specification>
</choice_of_extra>

XSL

<table width="100%" border="0">
<tbody>
<xsl:for-each
select="tc:MESSAGE/tc:CUSTOM-ATT/b:empty_cart/b:choice_of_extra">
<tr>
<td width="10%">Extra</td>
<td width="10%"><xsl:value-of select="b:code"/></td>
<td width="80%"><xsl:value-of select="b:specification"/></td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</tbody>
</table>

Result

Extra  711  Cleaning
Extra  511  New towels

Wanted display

Extra  711  Cleaning
       511  New towels

Any ideas?
