Subject: How to remove a row from table based on content (HTML)

Hi,
I have an html doc like :
<table>
<tr> <td> col1 </td> </tr>
<tr> <td> col2 </td> </tr>
<tr> <td> col3 </td> </tr>
</table>

I want to delete a row that contains some specific data i.e. if col1, col2, col3 are data like AAA, BBB, CCC and I want to delete the row that contains text BB.
I am able to get to the element using xslt, but am finding it difficult to get an html that doesnt contain the whole row.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.
AK

Hi AK,
you need to create a stylesheet that copies all the data, excluding the <tr> node that matches the column you need to remove; you can start with something like this

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:template match="tr[td = 'col2']">
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:element name="{name()}">
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="*|text()"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Hope this helps,
Alberto
