Re: [xsl] Filling out a table row

[George Cristian Bina <george@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Sam,

One way is to check if there are missing elements and add a td for each 
missing image.

<tr>
  <xsl:for-each select=".|following-sibling::image[position() &lt; 5]">
    <td><xsl:value-of select="concat(@name,':',.)"/></td>
  </xsl:for-each>
  <xsl:if test="not(following-sibling::image[4])">
    <td>&#160;</td>
    <xsl:if test="not(following-sibling::image[3])">
      <td>&#160;</td>
      <xsl:if test="not(following-sibling::image[2])">
        <td>&#160;</td>
        <xsl:if test="not(following-sibling::image[1])">
          <td>&#160;</td>
        </xsl:if>
      </xsl:if>
    </xsl:if>
    </xsl:if>
</tr>

Regards,
George
