Re: custom for-each loop in XSLT

hello guru,

u are thinking in procedural terms, which is being reflected in your want to
create code that 'counts' etc, its easier to make something datacentric, of
course they may be out of your control though.

a 2 pass solution: why not merge your data.xml with aan empty calender.xml
( which has 7 empty days ) then display what u require, testing for the
empty condition or u could use the position() command and explicity run
through all 7 positions.


cheers, jim fuller
