RE: creating html tables from cells

Ok sort of get it but not really. Here's what I've got so far for my xsl:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
	

<xsl:key name="ri-types" match="RI" use="@col" />
<xsl:variable name="ri-types" select="/RS/RI[generate-id() =
generate-id(key('ri-types', @col)[1])]/@col" />

<xsl:template match="/RS">
  <table>
  <xsl:variable name="content" select="RI"/>
  <xsl:for-each select="RI [@col='1']">
      <tr>
        <xsl:for-each select="$ri-types">
          <td>
            <xsl:value-of select="$content[@col=current()]"/>
          </td>
        </xsl:for-each>
      </tr>
  </xsl:for-each>
  </table>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Which almost works, but I obviously am missing something either about the
variable ri-types or with variable content:

<table>
   <tr>
      <td>Row 1 - Column 1</td>
      <td>Row 1 - Column 2</td>
      <td>Row 1 - Column 3</td>
      <td>Row 1 - Column 4</td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
      <td>Row 1 - Column 1</td>
      <td>Row 1 - Column 2</td>
      <td>Row 1 - Column 3</td>
      <td>Row 1 - Column 4</td>
   </tr>
</table>

But of course row #2 should be giving me "Row 2 - Column 1" etc.

Yeah, I was going to ask another on an unrelated topic but I thought I'd
look a little further before coming here. Thanks for the link. I'll have a
look

Dan,

This is a classic beginner's question about grouping.

It's not actually on the RS element where you'll create your <tr> -- it's 
on every RI[@col='1'] (which may be every fourth RI, depending on your
data).

See http://www.jenitennison.com/xslt/index.html for all kinds of help.

(But you said you have two questions.)

Cheers,
Wendell
