In Java Swing, you can nudge components around within a GUI layout by adding Glue and Strut components. I would like to implement something similar using XSLT with my servlet's XML output, resulting in HTML table cells that incorporate a rudimentary layout manager... I would like to guarentee vertical table cell size, without knowing until XML generation time, how many text lines will be in the cell. I suppose that I would have to generate a tag/value combination that would specify the desired vertical line spacing, then I would have to count lines within the template match block that were copied through, and then take the difference (if one existed...) and send that value as a parameter to a subroutine that generated lines with just whitespace... Before I embark on this XSLT Odyssey, do the experienced XSLTers on this list think this is viable? Or are there hidden perils in this task that come to mind? -Jim Parsons, ArsDigita Corp. -jparsons@xxxxxxxxxxxxx XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
