Re: Node Order and Value determination

Hi,

I am stumped trying to deterimne based upon my xml input file structure how to generate
the proper number of fo:table-column based upon OBJECT element(s) nested within its parent TABLE element.

My xml input file:

<TABLE BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0" OCCURENCE="1">
<DPROW>
<OBJECT ALIGN="left" STYLE="background-color:#FFFFFF;" HEIGHT="10"/>
</DPROW>
</TABLE>
<TABLE BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0" WIDTH="842" OCCURENCE="2">
<DPROW>
<OBJECT ALIGN="left" WIDTH="3"/>
<OBJECT>
<TABLE WIDTH="100%" BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0" OCCURENCE="2">
<DPROW>
<OBJECT WIDTH="4" HEIGHT="6"/>
<OBJECT WIDTH="22" HEIGHT="6"/>
<OBJECT WIDTH="67" HEIGHT="6"/>
<OBJECT WIDTH="2" HEIGHT="6"/>
<OBJECT WIDTH="211" HEIGHT="6"/>
<OBJECT WIDTH="2" HEIGHT="6"/>
<OBJECT WIDTH="273" HEIGHT="6"/>
<OBJECT WIDTH="48" HEIGHT="6"/>
<OBJECT WIDTH="92" HEIGHT="6"/>
<OBJECT WIDTH="2" HEIGHT="6"/>
<OBJECT WIDTH="2" HEIGHT="6"/>
<OBJECT WIDTH="82" HEIGHT="6"/>
<OBJECT WIDTH="6" HEIGHT="6"/>
<OBJECT WIDTH="22" HEIGHT="6"/>
<OBJECT WIDTH="5" HEIGHT="6"/>
</DPROW>
[..snip...]

Within my TABLE template I need a XPATH statement that works with my nested xml structure for determining fo:table-columns based upon the number of OBJECT elements. Specifically in the following xml structure

<TABLE><DPROW><OBJECT></OBJECT></DPROW></TABLE> should generate one fo:table-column;

<TABLE><DPROW><OBJECT></OBJECT><OBJECT></OBJECT></DPROW></TABL
E> should generate two fo:table-column statements
<TABLE><DPROW><OBJECT></OBJECT><OBJECT></OBJECT><OBJECT></OBJE
CT></DPROW></TABLE> should generate three fo:table-column statements

e.g.

 <xsl:for-each select="TABLE/DPROW/OBJECT">
   <fo:table-column/>
 </>

or if you want all the OBJECTs, then select "descendant::OBJECT".
