 Hi Saurabh,
From your problem description, it seems that *there
should not be <xsl:choose & <xsl:when* . In your XSL,
xsl:choose does not have any effect when you are doing
xsl:for-each. If you want to see c3 first or c2 first,
then it seems you should hardcode the order in the
XSL(as I have written in my XSL). I feel you should
also not do <xsl:for-each select="//book"> . I feel
<xsl:for-each select="book"> is better that //book. a
// construct searches the XML to arbitrary depths,
which is inefficient. Also, in my opinion, a
xsl:for-each is not required for this problem..
Below is the complete XSL --
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<table border="1" width="60%" align="center"
cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td align="center">
<xsl:value-of select="books/book[@category =
'c3']/title"/>
</td>
<td align="center">
<xsl:value-of select="books/book[@category =
'c3']/auth"/>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center">
<xsl:value-of select="books/book[@category =
'c1']/title"/>
</td>
<td align="center">
<xsl:value-of select="books/book[@category =
'c1']/auth"/>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center">
<xsl:value-of select="books/book[@category =
'c2']/title"/>
</td>
<td align="center">
<xsl:value-of select="books/book[@category =
'c2']/auth"/>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Hope I understood the problem correctly.
Regards,
Mukul
