I'm looking for advice as to how to make the following work. It seems to me that it "should" be possible, but I'm not having much luck. I'm trying to use html table column metadata (eventually this will end up in a separate xml file) to define the alignment of each column. The xml file follows. myData.xml --------------------------------- <?xml version="1.0" ?> <TradeData date='2002-03-18'> <ColumnInfo> <column colname="TradeType" align="left"/> <column colname="TradeId" align="center"/> <column colname="TradeValue" align="right"/> </ColumnInfo> <Trades> <TradeEntry> <TradeType>TypeA</TradeType> <TradeId>12345</TradeId> <TradeValue>100.00</TradeValue> </TradeEntry> <TradeEntry> <TradeType>TypeB</TradeType> <TradeId>45678</TradeId> <TradeValue>500.00</TradeValue> </TradeEntry> <TradeEntry> <TradeType>TypeC</TradeType> <TradeId>56789</TradeId> <TradeValue>350.00</TradeValue> </TradeEntry> </Trades> </TradeData> ---------------------------------------------------------- The xsl file follows. myData2html.xsl -------------------------------- <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:template match="/TradeData"> <html><body> <p>Prepared on <xsl:value-of select="@date"/></p> <xsl:apply-templates select="//Trades" /> </body></html> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="Trades"> <p>Transactions:</p> <table border="1"> <tr> <xsl:for-each select="TradeEntry[position()=1]/*"> <th><xsl:value-of select="name()"/></th> </xsl:for-each> </tr> <xsl:apply-templates select="TradeEntry"/> </table> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="TradeEntry"> <tr><xsl:apply-templates/></tr> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="TradeEntry/*"> <td> <xsl:attribute name="align"><xsl:value-of select="//ColumnInfo/column[@colname='TradeId']/@align"/></xsl:attribute> <xsl:value-of select="."/> </td> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> -------------------------------------------------------------------- I've declared an attribute for the <td> tag, which I'm trying to set to the current column's align attribute. If I hard-code the colname ('TradeId') then it works. What I would like to do is to replace [@colname='TradeId'] with something like [@colname=name()]. This (and several variations I've tried) does not work. Thanks, - Steve - Stephen Friedland - stephen_r_friedland@xxxxxxxxx XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
