AW: Xsl:variable problem ??

Hi Dipesh,

you can't (re)assign values to the "global" variables colHeaderForTable1
and maxColNoForTable1.
Therefore, you cannot use <xsl:for-each> to calculate the maximum.
You must use recursion instead.

If you post your XML (and it's not too long to read), then maybe
someone will post a solution.


Regards,
Markus

Betreff: 	 Xsl:variable problem ??

Hi,

I want to get value of attributes for a particular node having maximum 
attributes.

Fort this i need to use global variable to store the final value and one 
global variable to store the maximum no. of attributes in a given node to 
compare with the other nodes.

Syntax might not be proper in the following snippet

<!-- Defining Global variables -->
xsl:var name=colHeaderForTable1;
xsl:var name=maxColNoForTable1 select="number(0)"; <!-- Keeping maximum number 
of attributes for the particular node as zero -->
xsl:for-each //Table1
xsl:var name=temp select ="count(no. of columns in this table)"; <! --getting 
column count for the current table -->

<!-- For the firt time this comparision will be true and in the global 
variable i will get names of the attribute name -->
if (temp > maxColNoForTable1)
colHeaderForTable1={"Somevalue", "Somevalue",Getting each attribute name 
followed by seperator}

</xsl:for-each>

<!-- In this way I want the names of the attributes for a node having maximum 
no. of attributes. The problem here is i can not change the variable value, so 
is there any other way to achieve the same. I have not defined the variable 
inside for loop since I would need that value in future processing of my 
document.

So can i approach this problem ??

Eagerly waiting for reply.

Regards,
Dipesh
