Using loops in XSL..

[ashvn]

Hi!

Are there any equivalents of the VB Do..While or For..Next functions?
Let's say I have a var holding a value of 10 (can be any other numeric value). I have to dynamically create that number of textboxes, each having a name from 'txtNo0' to 'txtNo10'. Is there any way of doing that?

Thanks a lot!

I don't think it's possible to do that in a simple manner. have a look at

For loops you can use named templates:

<xsl:call-template name=&quot;MakeBoxRecursive&quot;>
  <xsl:with-param name=&quot;count&quot; select=&quot;10&quot;/>
</xsl:call-template>

<xsl:template name=&quot;MakeBoxRecursive&quot;>
  <xsl:param name=&quot;count&quot;/>
  <xsl:call-template name=&quot;MakeBox&quot;/>
  <xsl:if test=&quot;$count > 1&quot;>
    <xsl:call-template name=&quot;MakeBoxRecursive&quot;>
      <xsl:with-param name=&quot;count&quot;>
 	<xsl:value-of select=&quot;-1 + $count&quot;/>
      </xsl:with-param>
    </xsl:call-template>
  </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

Oh, and "$count > 1" should be escaped with & g t ; (but if I leave out whitespaces it is converted back again).
