Re: [xsl] table preceding row, child entry - recursion?

[Steve <subsume@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, recursion is one way of doing it. I just got help with a similar
problem but basically, you pass the rows to the template and allow the
template to call itself with the new values until its spent.

Below is something I think will get you halfway there..

<xsl:template match="Record">
		<!-- running totals of hours already used   -->
		<xsl:param name="used">0</xsl:param>

		<xsl:param name="usedSSA">0</xsl:param>

		<!-- running totals of quota not used   -->
		<xsl:param name="leftSSA">0</xsl:param>
		<xsl:choose>
			<!-- Capacity used up, output used and move on   -->
			<xsl:when test="(hours = $used)">
				<tr>
					<td><xsl:value-of select="service" /></td>
					<td><xsl:value-of select="round(hours)" /></td>
					<td><xsl:value-of select="round($usedSSA)" /></td>
				</tr>
				<xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::Record[1]">
					<xsl:with-param name="leftSSA" select="$leftSSA" />
				</xsl:apply-templates>

			</xsl:when>
			<xsl:when test="not($leftSSA = 0)">
				<xsl:choose>
					<xsl:when test="($leftSSA &gt;= (hours - $used))">
						<xsl:apply-templates select=".">
							<xsl:with-param name="used" select="hours" />
							<xsl:with-param name="usedSSA" select="($usedSSA + hours - $used)" />
							<xsl:with-param name="leftSSA" select="($leftSSA - (hours - $used))" />
						</xsl:apply-templates>
					</xsl:when>
					<xsl:otherwise>
						<xsl:apply-templates select=".">
							<xsl:with-param name="used" select="($used + $leftSSA)" />
							<xsl:with-param name="usedSSA" select="($usedSSA + $leftSSA)" />

						</xsl:apply-templates>
					</xsl:otherwise>
				</xsl:choose>
			</xsl:when>
			<xsl:otherwise>
				<xsl:apply-templates select=".">
					<xsl:with-param name="used" select="hours" />
					<xsl:with-param name="usedSSA" select="$usedSSA" />
				</xsl:apply-templates>
			</xsl:otherwise>
		</xsl:choose>
	</xsl:template>
