Variable problems

[culshaja]

Hi,

I want to create a table, and depending on a change in an attribute value I want to determine if I should tstart a new row or not.

How can I do this in XSLT?

You can use the position() attribute of a for-each loop to start another row after an appropriate number of <td>s, as such:


<table>
<tr>

<xsl:for-each select=&quot;//Root/Category&quot;>

<td><xsl:value-of select=&quot;Data&quot;/></td>

<xsl:if test=&quot;position() mod 2=0&quot;>
<tr/>
</xsl:if>

</xsl:for-each>

</tr>
</table>


This would draw a table 2 cells wide.

Hope this helps!
