Hi, Dimitre
Thanks for your kindness to clean up my xslt redundant codes.
To make this piece of template be more generic,
a variable **source** is to define the xml-dependent tree structure.
So the template can be used without further touching, i.e.,
<xsl:variable name="source" select="/parent-of-subsystem_id/subsystem_id"
/>
and use it as the value of select attribute. Meantimes the element abbr *
is used
with match. The test seems ok. But I wonder what might be missing from this
kind
of approach.
Thanks for your comment.
** modified xslt part code ***
<xsl:variable name="source" select="/parent-of-subsystem_id/subsystem_id"
/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<table>
<xsl:apply-templates mode="multiColumn" select="$source[position()
<=$numCols]">
^^^^^^^
<xsl:with-param name="numCols" select="$numCols"/>
<xsl:with-param name="nodes" select="$source"/>
^^^^^^^
</xsl:apply-templates>
</table>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template mode="multiColumn" match="*">
^
<xsl:param name="numCols" select="1" />
<xsl:param name="nodes" select="/.." />
<xsl:variable name="vCurPosition" select="position()" />
<xsl:variable name="vColour">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$vCurPosition mod 2 = 1">aqua</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>red</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>
<tr bgcolor="{$vColour}">
<xsl:apply-templates mode="normal"
select="$nodes[position() >= $vCurPosition
and (position() - $vCurPosition) mod $numCols = 0]" />
</tr>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*" mode="normal">
^
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="." />
</td>
</xsl:template>
