I have a simple table I am trying to create. Here is the sample XML file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<test>
<item att1="foo1" att2="bar1"/>
<item att2="bar2"/>
<item att1="foo3"/>
<item/>
<item att1="foo5" att2="bar5"/>
</test>
I am currently using XMLSpy to create a XSL file to create my HTML table.
It does create a basic table but not exaclty what I want. Right now, if
either att1 or att2 if not set, nothing gets placed in the table cell. What
I would like to do it do a test of that value to see if it is defined and if
not, place some other fixed value there. I have tried adding various if
conditions without any success. Can this be done?? Should I use some other
command other that xsl:for-each? Here is the stylesheet it is generating.
Thanks
Chris
