two column table with alternating row colors using xsl xml and css
I would like to create a balanced two column table with alternating row
colors sorted by business excluding html pre data for data non existant in
the xml elements like () in the phone number. I am using the processor php
extension http://nona.net/software/phplibxslt/:
<?
dl("php_libxslt.so");
$transformed = libxslt_transform($xmlstring, $xsltstring);
?>
:
The data will come from xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<FMPDSORESULT xmlns="http://www.filemaker.com/fmpdsoresult">
<ERRORCODE>0</ERRORCODE>
<DATABASE>Contacts-Master.fp5</DATABASE>
<LAYOUT></LAYOUT>
<ROW MODID="2" RECORDID="1">
<Co>Abbott Tinkers (Pat)</Co>
<Address1>736 Santa Anna Ave</Address1>
<City1>Miggs</City1>
<State1>CA</State1>
<Zip1>94430-9999</Zip1>
<Phone1_Area_Code>555</Phone1_Area_Code>
<Phone1_Number>121-7679</Phone1_Number>
</ROW>
<ROW MODID="2" RECORDID="2">
<Co>Aderbouy Specialty</Co>
<Address1>1557 Hemmy Drive</Address1>
<City1>Jesper</City1>
<State1>CA</State1>
<Zip1>99251</Zip1>
<Phone1_Area_Code></Phone1_Area_Code><! if phone number is missing exclude
output of "( )">
<Phone1_Number></Phone1_Number><! what if this tag is "<Phone1_Number/>"?>
</ROW>
<! etcetera...>
</FMPDSORESULT>

I have tried a xsl like the following which works fine but dosent
implement two columns, sorting by business and alternating color rows. I
am also not sure how fancy I can get with this processor. Every time I try
to modify this xsl the processor returns raw xml to the browser. Tis is
the default behaviour if there are errors encountered:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:fmp="http://www.filemaker.com/fmpdsoresult"
exclude-result-prefixes="fmp">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes" />
<xsl:template match="fmp:FMPDSORESULT">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE></TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<TABLE>
<TR><TD><B>Contractors</B></TD><TD></TD></TR>
<xsl:for-each select="fmp:ROW">
<TR>
<TD>
<B><xsl:value-of select="fmp:Co" /></B><BR />
<xsl:value-of select="fmp:Address1" /><BR />
<xsl:value-of select="fmp:City1" />, <xsl:value-of select="fmp:State1" />
<xsl:value-of select="fmp:Zip1" />
<BR />
</TD>
<TD>
(<xsl:value-of select="fmp:Phone1_Area_Code" />)<xsl:value-of
select="fmp:Phone1_Number" />
<BR />
</TD>
</TR>
</xsl:for-each>
</TABLE>
</BODY>
</HTML>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

I read that using css with table or tr tags can cause browser
crashes/display problems at http://css.nu/examples/table-example.html .
Need I be worried?. I have not attempted an external css but maybe
something like this?:
tr.address_row {background-color: #FFFFFF;}
tr.address_row_alternate {background-color: #FFFFFF;}
I want the html/xhtml output to resemble this:
<TABLE WIDTH="100%" BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="2">
<TR VALIGN="top" CLASS="address_row" BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF">
<!altenating color would be EFEFEF>
<TD WIDTH="100%">
<B>
<!Co>company</B>
<BR>
<DIV CLASS="address">
<!address>address
<BR>
<!city>city, <!state>state <!zip>zip<BR>
</DIV>
</TD>
<TD VALIGN="bottom" nowrap>
<!phone>phone<BR>
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
:
Is it safe/stable to impliment the templates from
http://xsltsl.sourceforge.net/ ? Would this provide functionality that
would help enable what I am trying to accomplish? I am struggling but
learning alot. Any advice or help is much appreciated!
