RE: RE: How to implement an array

Well I got this far with this problem and is once
again stumped. I am hoping one of you can detect the
problem.

Snippet from lookup.xml file:
<TableStructures>
  <Item>
    <ItemLine>Required</ItemLine>
    <ItemAcct>Required</ItemAcct>
    <Option>Optional</Option>
    <ItemText>Required</ItemText>
  </Item>
</TableStructures>
 
Snippet from the xml file with the data:

  <Content>
    <CodeI>2</CodeI> 
    <ID>6</ID> 
    <TranNum>1</TranNum> 
    <Table1>
      <Item>
        <ItemLine>3</ItemLine> 
        <ItemAcct>6</ItemAcct>
        <Option>Contains Data1</Option>
        <ItemText>This is line 3</ItemText> 
      </Item>
      <Item>
        <ItemLine>4</ItemLine> 
        <ItemAcct>34</ItemAcct>
        <ItemText>This is line 4</ItemText> 
      </Item>
      <Item>
        <ItemLine>5</ItemLine> 
        <ItemAcct>34</ItemAcct>
        <Option>Contains Data2</Option>
        <ItemText>This is line 5</ItemText> 
      </Item>
    </Table1>
  </Content>
 
I am applying two templates, one creates the column
heading and the other creates the table cells. The
elements in the rows are optional...that is, an
element could exist in one row and be absent in
another. So to create the heading, I test all the
elements of the parent node for existence of an
element whose name matches that from the lookup table.
If count > 0 then a heading is created for the
element.

I try to use the same logic to populate the individual
cells in the second template...but it obviously is
incorrect...

      <xsl:apply-templates select="//Content/Table1"
mode="header"/>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="//Content/Table1"
mode="celldata"/>

Here are the templates:

<xsl:template match="Table1" mode="header">
  <xsl:variable name="Table1" select="."/>
  <!-- process each Item element from lookup.xml -->
  <tr>
  <xsl:for-each select="$Table1Struct">
    <xsl:variable name="ItemName"
select="string(name(.))"/>
    <xsl:if test="count($Table1//*[name(.)=$ItemName])
&gt; 0">
      <td><xsl:value-of select="$ItemName"/></td>
    </xsl:if>
  </xsl:for-each>
  </tr>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="Table1/Item" mode="celldata">
  <xsl:variable name="Table1" select="."/>
  <tr>
  <xsl:for-each select="./*">
  <xsl:variable name="tval" select="text()"/>
  <xsl:for-each select="$Table1Struct">
    <xsl:variable name="ItemName"
select="string(name(.))"/>
    <xsl:if test="count($Table1//*[name(.)=$ItemName])
&gt; 0">
      <td><xsl:value-of select="$tval"/></td>
    </xsl:if>
  </xsl:for-each>
  </xsl:for-each>
  </tr>
</xsl:template>



Here's the output:
ItemLine ItemAcct Option ItemText 
3 3 3 3 6 6 6 6 Contains Data1 Contains Data1 Contains
Data1 Contains Data1 This is line 3 This is line 3
This is line 3 This is line 3 
4 4 4 34 34 34 This is line 4 This is line 4 This is
line 4 
5 5 5 5 34 34 34 34 Contains Data2 Contains Data2
Contains Data2 Contains Data2 This is line 5 This is
line 5 This is line 5 This is line 5
