Re: Slow XSLT

Hi Manfred,

Thanks again for your assistance. It is really
appreciated.

I will try your sample code and let you know what
happens.

Also, as I mentined before, I am trying to build a
GRID and will send to you a copy of my latest XSLT so
that you can see what I have achieved so far. Slowly I
am getting there :-)

THE GRID

Basically, I use four <DIV> and <TABLE> tags. I have
the Top Left DIV, Top Right DIV, Bottom Left DIV and
Bottom Rght DIV.

Because I use Javascript to align my GRID, I have to
apply templates in a certain order i.e:

1- build the bottom right section first (grdBody)
2- next build the top right section (column headings)
3- Build the bottom left section (row headings)
4- Finaly build the top left section which is just an
empty div with the right hight and width to align with
the rest of the grid.

Please note that I still have to change my XSLT code
to use the sample code you showed me (call template
and tail recursion). I am still using my old key way I
mentioned to you.

I am struggling a bit with some of the suggestions I
have received specially the sample code provided by
David Carlisle. He showed me how to use a technique
that Michael calls vanilla push-processing. 

However, since I have to sort the xml based on some
parameters passed to the stylesheet, I am not sure
where to add the <xsl:sort> command with
<apply-templates>. 

I have to sort 3 sections of the xml. This is how I
used to do:

<xsl:sort select
="Cell[number($sortCell)]/descendant::Msr[number($sortCol)]/@val"
data-type="{$dataType}" order ="{$sortOrder}" />

I have to sort all the rows except for the last one -
the Total row of course :-). That is the reason for
the when test:

OLD REPORT TEMPLATE WITH SORTING

<xsl:template match="Report" >
<!-- grdBdy -->
      <div id="{$id}grdBdy">
        <table id="tblTop" cellpadding="0">          
          <tbody>
            <xsl:choose>
              <xsl:when  test="number($sortCol) != 0">
                <xsl:apply-templates
select="/Reports/Report/Rows//Row" mode="data">   
                  <xsl:sort select
="Cell[number($sortCell)]/descendant::Msr[number($sortCol)]/@val"
data-type="{$dataType}" order ="{$sortOrder}" />
                </xsl:apply-templates>
              </xsl:when>
              <xsl:otherwise>
                <xsl:apply-templates
select="/Reports/Report/Rows//Row" mode="data" />     
  
              </xsl:otherwise>
            </xsl:choose>
          </tbody>
        </table>
      </div>
</xsl:template>

I also have to add a sort command to sort the Row
Headings:

OLD REPORT TEMPLATE WITH ROW HEADING SORTING

<xsl:template match="Report" >
<!-- grdLeft -->   
      <div id="{$id}grdLft" style="position: absolute;
top: 12px; left: 0px; width: 150px; height:
{$height}px">
        <table width="100%" class="grdMain" border="0"
cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0">
          <tbody>           
            <xsl:choose>
              <xsl:when  test="number($sortCol) != 0">
                <xsl:apply-templates
select="Rows//Row" mode="heading">
                  <xsl:sort select
="Cell[number($sortCell)]/descendant::Msr[number($sortCol)]/@val"
data-type="{$dataType}" order ="{$sortOrder}" />
                </xsl:apply-templates>
              </xsl:when>
              <xsl:otherwise>
                <xsl:apply-templates
select="Rows//Row" mode="heading" />
              </xsl:otherwise>
            </xsl:choose>
          </tbody>
        </table>
      </div>
</xsl:template>

Please note that I used to be able to control all
these sections using the MODE ATTRIBUTE

<xsl:apply-templates select="Rows//Row"
mode="heading">

However, with apply-templates I might not have this
control. What do you think?

The last place I have to sort is in the Cell template.
Please note that I have removed this sort command from
my latest XSLT because I am not sure how to do that
now.  

<xsl:template match="Cell">    
    <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="Msr">
        <xsl:for-each select="Msr">
          <xsl:sort select="@idx" order="ascending"
data-type="number"/>
          <xsl:choose>
.....
....
</xsl:template>
 
I would appreciate your suggestion about the sorting
issues I mentioned above and also any other
improvement you may find possible.

Just one last note, I still have to figure out the
best way to deal with the ROW HEADINGS. Still using
old code like <xsl:if
test="preceding-sibling::Row=false() or
number($sortCol) != 0">
        <xsl:apply-templates select="parent::RowGrp"
mode="heading" />. 

How difficult do you think it would be to change my
approach of using 4 DIVs and 4 Tables to build the
grid and instead creating just one table? 

However, I would have to make sure I get my rowspan
and colspan right for the first TD in the first <tr>.
