XML / XSL table for HTML
Can someone help me get the columndefinition / column / cssclass value from my row loop?
So in my xsl I want to pull the cssclass for the same column position during my forloop "rows" and put it in my <td class = "PullItFromColumnDefition">
Hope this makes sense. Can anyone help me figure this out?
Thank.
My XML looks something like this:
<report>
<columndefinition>
<column>
<headertext>Test Column 1</headertext>
<cssclass>test1</cssclass>
</column>
<column>
<headertext>Test Column 2</headertext>
<cssclass>test2</cssclass>
</column>
</columndefinition>
<rows>
<row>
<column>3</column>
<column>11/04/2002</column>
</row>
<row>
<column>22</column>
<column>04/15/2003</column>
</row>
<row>
<column>134</column>
<column>04/15/2003</column>
</row>
<row>
<column>63</column>
<column>11/03/2004</column>
</row>
<row>
<column>65</column>
<column>11/03/2004</column>
</row>
<row>
<column>66</column>
<column>11/03/2004</column>
</row>
</rows>
</report>
And this is what my xsl is currently:
<xsl:template match="/report">
<html>
<body>
<h2>Report Sample</h2>
<table border="1">
<thead>
<xsl:for-each select="columndefinition/column">
<th><xsl:value-of select="headertext"/></th>
</xsl:for-each>
</thead>
<tbody>
<xsl:for-each select="rows/row">
<tr>
<xsl:for-each select="column">
<td><xsl:value-of select="."/></td>
</xsl:for-each>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</tbody>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>

As an alternative to Pavel's solution, you can use an XSL key:
<xsl:key
name="kCssClass"
match="cssclass"
use="count(../preceding-sibling::column) + 1"
/>
<!-- later, in <column> context… -->
<td class="{key('kCssClass', position())}">
The key will index the nodes <cssclass>
by their parent position <column>
. For large entrances, this allows for faster work.
