henny Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 hi there,I've an agenda.xml with mutilple entries per monthand I would like to create a separator when the month changes ( add month-name and horizontal line to the report )I use this code in my XSL ( I've left out the agenda formatting to concentrate on the separator issue ) <!-- agenda header --> <xsl:for-each select="agenda/activity[hidden = 0]"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="position() = 1"> <tr><td width="100%" colspan="2"><xsl:value-of select="month"/></td></tr> <tr><td width="100%" height="2" colspan="2" bgcolor="Navy"></td></tr> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:if test="preceding::month[1] != month"> <tr><td width="100%" colspan="2"><xsl:value-of select="month"/></td></tr> <tr><td width="100%" height="2" colspan="2" bgcolor="Navy"></td></tr> </xsl:if> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> <!-- the agenda follows --> </xsl:for-each> this works fine, but only if I don't have a hidden item at the beginning of the monththat is very strange, because in my " <xsl:for-each select " I filter out all the hidden itemsand still they appear in the preceding::month[1] comparisonany clue to avoid this ??thx in advance - gr.

boen_robot Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 How about making the 0 a string. Like so:<xsl:for-each select="agenda/activity[hidden = '0']"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henny Posted June 4, 2007 Author Share Posted June 4, 2007 nope - doesn't helpit seems that " preceding " is looking into the source document and not in the selection set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boen_robot Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Then maybe if you add additonal predicate in preceding itself for the hidden element:preceding::month[1][[hidden = 0] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henny Posted June 4, 2007 Author Share Posted June 4, 2007 here you go - I've stripped out some content to make the files smaller and sorry for the Dutch words ;-)in this example the month of September is not inserted as separatorbecause the 1st entry of september is an hidden entryXSL <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"><xsl:template match="/"><html><body><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" width="90%" align="center"> <tr> <td width="30%" valign="top" class="agenda_header">Datum</td> <td width="70%" valign="top" class="agenda_header">Omschrijving</td> </tr> <xsl:for-each select="agenda/activiteit[hidden = 0]"> <xsl:if test="(position() = 1) or (preceding::maand[1] != maand)"> <tr><td width="100%" colspan="2" valign="top" class="agenda_subheader"><xsl:value-of select="maand"/></td></tr> <tr><td width="10%" height="2" colspan="2" bgcolor="Navy"></td></tr> </xsl:if> <tr> <td width="30%" valign="top" class="agenda_record{position() mod 2}"><xsl:value-of select="datum"/></td> <td width="70%" valign="top" align="left" class="agenda_record{position() mod 2}"><xsl:apply-templates select="omschrijving"/></td> </tr> </xsl:for-each></table></body></html></xsl:template><!-- enkele tekst formatting templates --><xsl:template match="br"> <br /></xsl:template><xsl:template match="b"> <span style="font-weight:bold"><xsl:value-of select="."/></span></xsl:template><xsl:template match="i"> <span style="font-style:italic"><xsl:value-of select="."/></span></xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boen_robot Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 It's a bit messy and unefficient solution, as the processor has to loop over hidden months and dates too, but it works: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"><xsl:output indent="yes"/><xsl:template match="/"><html><body><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" width="90%" align="center"> <tr> <td width="30%" valign="top" class="agenda_header">Datum</td> <td width="70%" valign="top" class="agenda_header">Omschrijving</td> </tr> <xsl:for-each select="agenda/activiteit"> <xsl:if test="(position() = 1) or (preceding::maand[1] != maand)"> <tr><td width="100%" colspan="2" valign="top" class="agenda_subheader"><xsl:value-of select="maand"/></td></tr> <tr><td width="10%" height="2" colspan="2" bgcolor="Navy"></td></tr> </xsl:if> <xsl:if test="hidden = 0"> <tr> <td width="30%" valign="top" class="agenda_record{position() mod 2}"><xsl:value-of select="datum"/></td> <td width="70%" valign="top" align="left" class="agenda_record{position() mod 2}"><xsl:apply-templates select="omschrijving"/></td> </tr> </xsl:if> </xsl:for-each></table></body></html></xsl:template><!-- enkele tekst formatting templates --><xsl:template match="br"> <br /></xsl:template><xsl:template match="b"> <span style="font-weight:bold"><xsl:value-of select="."/></span></xsl:template><xsl:template match="i"> <span style="font-style:italic"><xsl:value-of select="."/></span></xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet> [edit]Actually, here's a more efficient solution: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"><xsl:output indent="yes"/><xsl:template match="/"><html><body><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" width="90%" align="center"> <tr> <td width="30%" valign="top" class="agenda_header">Datum</td> <td width="70%" valign="top" class="agenda_header">Omschrijving</td> </tr> <xsl:for-each select="agenda/activiteit[hidden = 0]"> <xsl:variable name="curPos" select="position()"/> <xsl:if test="(position() = 1) or (../activiteit[hidden = 0][position() < $curPos][position() = last()]/maand != maand)"> <tr><td width="100%" colspan="2" valign="top" class="agenda_subheader"><xsl:value-of select="maand"/></td></tr> <tr><td width="10%" height="2" colspan="2" bgcolor="Navy"></td></tr> </xsl:if> <tr> <td width="30%" valign="top" class="agenda_record{position() mod 2}"><xsl:value-of select="datum"/></td> <td width="70%" valign="top" align="left" class="agenda_record{position() mod 2}"><xsl:apply-templates select="omschrijving"/></td> </tr> </xsl:for-each></table></body></html></xsl:template><!-- enkele tekst formatting templates --><xsl:template match="br"> <br /></xsl:template><xsl:template match="b"> <span style="font-weight:bold"><xsl:value-of select="."/></span></xsl:template><xsl:template match="i"> <span style="font-style:italic"><xsl:value-of select="."/></span></xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet> btw, may I say this is one of the worst tables I've seen. You can achieve the same (if not even better) effect with lists and maybe, just maybe <hr />, though that's not exactly a best practice either.[/edit] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
