Subject: [xsl] Keeping a running total? From: Steve <subsume@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2006 13:12:03 -0400 |
Problem: I need to make a table of the output required of 4 factories next month.
Widgets Gadgets Factory A 2 Factory B 3 Factory C 4 Factory D 1
Widget quota = 5 Gadget quota = 5
<xsl:for-each select="document('factories.xml')//factory"> <xsl:variable name="widgets"> Has quota been reached? Then return 0. Otherwise, give as many possible without going over the quota. </xsl:variable> <xsl:variable name="gadgets"> Has the widget quota been filled? Then start making gadgets! Has this quota been reached? (etc). </xsl:variable> <tr> <td><xsl:value-of select="@name" /></td> <td><xsl:value-of select="$widgets" /></td> <td><xsl:value-of select="$gadgets" /></td> </tr> </xsl:for-each>
When the quota of Widgets has been reached, I need the factories to start making Gadgets. In the above example the quota is reached at factory B and factory C begins making Gadgets.
PS: For now I am using a for-each (factory) to iterate through the totals and generate numbers. It seems that templates are beneficial for things such as this, but I have not yet mastered their use and so if this can be more easily done with templates, I'd like to know how.
