[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Need better ways to do this..
 I am sure there are better ways to accomplish what I am doing and trying to do. I would be thankful if you could suggest one. I have explained my approach in the comments in the XSL segment. Questions: 1. How to prevent the output being generated for td[4], td[5], td[6] and td[7] if td[1] fails my validation as shown in the XSL segment? 2. How to avoid repitition of the XSL code for processing td[4], td[5], td[6] and td[7]? Thank you for your suggestions. -sm --Input XML segment-- <tr> <td>19960529-00:00:00.000 CDT</td> <td>115.269997</td> <td>49.669998</td> <td>2.320717</td> <td>2.314239</td> <td>2.295786</td> <td>2.332692</td> <td>0.018453</td> </tr> <tr> <td>19960530-00:00:00.000 CDT</td> <td>112.650002</td> <td>49.019900</td> <td>2.298042</td> <td>2.308282</td> <td>2.290944</td> <td>2.325620</td> <td>0.017338</td> </tr> ------ -- XSL segment -- <!-- Look for the timestamp, and validate it. --> <xsl:template match="tr/td[1]"> <xsl:variable name="currentDate" select="."/> <xsl:variable name="isValid" select="datelogicext:checkValidity( $StartDateObject, string( $currentDate ))"/> <xsl:choose> <!-- If valid, print the timestamp within XData tag --> <!-- Then go for other values in tr/td[4], tr/td[5], tr/td[6] and tr/td[7] --> <!-- The code is working fine when the date is valid --> <xsl:when test=" $isValid = 'YES' "> <XData> <xsl:value-of select="."/> </XData> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <!-- A futile attempt to skip to next tr and not process this tr since td[1] is invalid. --> <xsl:apply-templates mode="INVALID" select="tr/td"/> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template> <xsl:template mode="INVALID" match="tr/td" > </xsl:template> <!-- COPY PROCESSING for positions 4-7 -->
