i am creating portlets for a webpage, each portlet has any number of
"section" divs and "link" divs in any order. I am trying to create alternate
background colours on these divs by using the xsl. For example, for a white
portlet, i would want:
link div - no background (white) section div - grey background section div - no background link div - grey background etc....... I think i may have to do something with parameter passing but not sure how to tackle it. I thought about maybe counting the number of divs in each portlet and then saying for every even numbered div have no background and every odd numbered div have a coloured background. However, i dont think you can figure out which divs would be odd and which would be even? My xml and xsl is below: I have an xml file like this: <page>
<portlet colour="white">
<link>
<name></name>
</link>
<link>
<name></name>
</link>
<section>
<name></name>
</section>
.......any number of mixed sections and links
</portlets>
<portlet colour="blue">
<link>
<name></name>
</link>
<link>
<name></name>
</link>
<section>
<name></name>
</section>
.......any number of mixed sections and links
</portlets>
</page>part of my xsl file looks a bit like this: <xsl:template match="portlet"> <xsl:variable name="colour" select="@colour" /> <div class="portlet-content" id="ne-portlet-content"> <!-- place description in portlet --> <xsl:if test="string-length(description) != 0"> <div class="back-none"> <p><xsl:apply-templates select="description" /></p> </div> </xsl:if> <!-- place links/sections in portlet --> <xsl:apply-templates select="link | section"/> <!-- linkc | section--> </div> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="link"> <xsl:variable name="colour" select="../@colour"/> <xsl:variable name="desclength" select="string-length(../description)"/> <div class="back-{$colour}"> LINK CONTENT </div> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="section"> <xsl:variable name="colour" select="../@colour"/> <xsl:variable name="desclength" select="string-length(../description)"/> <div class="back-{$colour}"> SECTION CONTENT </div> </xsl:template> _________________________________________________________________ It's fast, it's easy and it's free.
