Re: Auto generation of attribute values and content

Lainaus champion boliao <gsem980@xxxxxxxxxxxx>:

| I have the following code in my xsl file. 
| 
| <row font-bold='true' alignment-horizontal='center'>
|    <cell defined-name="month1">Jan</cell>
|    <cell defined-name="month2">Feb</cell>
|    <cell defined-name="month3">Mar</cell>
|    <cell defined-name="month4">Q1</cell>
|    <cell defined-name="month5>>Apr</cell>
|    <cell defined-name="month6">May</cell>
|    <cell defined-name="month7">Jun</cell>
|    <cell defined-name="month8">Q2</cell>
|    <cell defined-name="month9">Jul</cell>
|    <cell defined-name="month10">Aug</cell>
|    <cell defined-name="month11">Sep</cell>
|    <cell defined-name="month12">Q3</cell>
|    <cell defined-name="month13">Oct</cell>
|    <cell defined-name="month14">Nov</cell>
|    <cell defined-name="month15">Dec</cell>
|    <cell defined-name="month16">Q4</cell>
|    </row>
| 
| I would like to do a for loop or whatever possible
| ways to auto-geneate the content. Something like
| below:
| 
| <row font-bold='true' alignment-horizontal='center'>
|   <cell define-name=getMonth()>getData()</cell>
| </row>
| 
| I don't know whether it is possible and how should I
| code the getMonth() and getData() method. What should
| the syntax like?
| 
| Please give me your insight and thank you very much.

I am not quite sure if this is what you want to output (since your message is
not quite explicit, but what the heck).

XSLT:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:output method="xml"/>		
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="/row/cell">

	<row font-bold="{../@font-bold}" 
	alignment-horizontal="{../@alignment-horizontal}">
	<cell define-name="{@defined-name}">
	<xsl:apply-templates/>
	</cell>	
	</row>

</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template> 
</xsl:stylesheet>
<!-- EOF -->

The output would be:

XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<row font-bold="true" alignment-horizontal="center">
<cell define-name="month1">Jan</cell>
</row>
<row font-bold="true" alignment-horizontal="center">
<cell define-name="month2">Feb</cell>
</row>
<row font-bold="true" alignment-horizontal="center">
<cell define-name="month3">Mar</cell>
</row>
<row font-bold="true" alignment-horizontal="center">
<cell define-name="month4">Q1</cell>
</row>
........

I bet there is more generic / flexible ways to do this. Perhaps the real gurus
can help out with this.

Cheers,
