Hi,
I'm a novice to XSL and my question concerns the following code: <xsl:for-each select="listing/item">
<xsl:sort select="title"/>
<tr>
<td class="listing"> <xsl:value-of select="blah" /> </td>
<td class="listing"> <xsl:value-of select="blah2" /> </td>
<td class="listing"> <xsl:value-of select="blah3" /> </td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>There is some code before this that generates a table. This is all fine and dandy except that if the value of "blah" is blank, and I was outputing this to html, then netscape would not handle blank <td/> fields in an elegant manner because it would shift the next column over one to replace the blank column. Normally, I would insert an ' ' between each <td> tag so that netscape would render a space and not ignore the cell, but as you know, '&' is reserved in xml. I tried &, but that doesn't render a space but rather the real '&' symbol. So my question is what is the best way to solve this problem? I have searched the list and found that perhaps I can use the disable-output-escaping="yes" feature/hack, but I am using the lotus xsl processor and it doesn't quite work, so I'm assuming that this feature is not available with the processor I'm using. Any ideas? Thanks! ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
