Hello all-- I'm using my XSL stylesheet to create HTML.. one of the "challenges" I've run into are situations where I need to conditionally output only half of a tag group (i.e. <tr> but not </tr>) in an XSL block.. if I only put in half of the group, the stylesheet ceases to be well-formed, and I get angry messages from both my XML writer and the XSL processor. So, I thought I would perform the condition processing and subsequent output in a Java class so that the XSL processor would not complain about well-formedness.. good idea, and the code runs, but in the resultant HTML, the "<" in the "<tr>" tag mysteriously becomes a "<"! The ">" doesn't get converted, however. But, this is enough to screw up the HTML, since the "<tr>" tag is rendered in the browser rather than being identified as an HTML tag. Does anyone have any ideas on this problem(s)? I'm open both to solutions for the well-formedness issue as well as the character conversion issue. Details on the scenario follow: The XML is generated by a screen designer that allows a user to graphically define a screen. One of the graphical components is a CheckBox group. An attribute of the CheckBoxGroup is the number of columns in the group. The subelements are the checkboxes themselves. I need to render these checkboxes as a group according to the number of columns.. so I'm creating an HTML table, with each <tr> being composed of as many <td>s as the number of columns.. so you see my need for conditional outputting of <tr> and </tr> tags.. I'm keeping a counter of how many <td>s I've outputted for a <tr> and conditionally I want to spit out a </tr> if the counter has reached the number of columns value. Thanks in advance for your help!! Dave Lamy MarketVision, Inc. dlamy@xxxxxxxxxxx XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
