Re: problems in loop creation in a table--help required..


Here's one way to do it:  Build the subsystem_id table like so:

            <TBODY>
              <TR>
                <TD>00-3f</TD>
                <xsl:apply-templates
                  select="subsystem_id[position() mod 4 = 1]"/>
              </TR>
              <TR>
                <TD>40-7f</TD>
                <xsl:apply-templates
                  select="subsystem_id[position() mod 4 = 2]"/>
              </TR>
              <TR>
                <TD>80-Bf</TD>
                <xsl:apply-templates
                  select="subsystem_id[position() mod 4 = 3]"/>
              </TR>
              <TR>
                <TD>C0-FF</TD>
                <xsl:apply-templates
                  select="subsystem_id[position() mod 4 = 0]"/>
              </TR>
            </TBODY>

Add a template for subsystem_id, like:
  <xsl:template match="subsystem_id">
    <td>
      <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </td>
  </xsl:template>

Your code will work if you change 'call-template' to 'apply-templates', and
change the 'match' attribute to 'select'.  But you'll also need to add
conditions for all 64 possible subsystem_ids.  Selecting with a 'position()
mod 4' expression reduces the amount of XSLT code.

If you want to fill out the rows with empty cells, you'll need to call an
extra named template.  See my recently posted example on this list for a
similar table construction problem.

Have fun,
Paul Tyson
