lookup (key-value) such that you can loop through it with limits


Another way, I saw somewhere (don't remember) was kind of like this:

<xsl:variable name=ColValue select=..expression..>
	< if....
	< if..
	< when .. expr

</xsl:variable>

sorry, the rest of the message was confusing, i am going to do some cyrptoanalysis of just this part of your email

you need to use valid XSLT, this snippet breaks many rules;

- Variable or parameter 'ColValue' cannot have both a select attribute and non-empty content.
- you need to quote all attributes
- yes you can nest statements inside an xsl:variable, which will generate a value e.g.

<xsl:variable name="ColValue">
some value
</xsl:variable>

can just as easily be the result of processing

<xsl:variable name="ColValue">
	<xsl:apply-templates select="someelement"/>
	<xsl:if test="not(someelement)">include my data as well</xsl:if>
</xsl:variable>

and so on....
