Re: Generate N elements and attribute values

Hi Wendell,

Yes, you are absolutely right - I create the tr elements inside the template
that creates the td elements, but I am not so sure exactly what to do with
your example template, though it makes sense to do as you suggest.
Btw...where do you define the max-count param?

This is my recursive template (tr) with the inside recursive template (td):

<xsl:template name="tr">
   <xsl:param name="x"/>
   <xsl:param name="y"/>

<tr no="{$y}">
    <xsl:call-template name="td">
    <xsl:with-param name="x" select="//Tabel/@cols"/>
    <xsl:with-param name="y" select="0"/>
    </xsl:call-template>
    </tr>
  
<xsl:if test="$x > 1">
    <xsl:call-template name="tr">
     <xsl:with-param name="x" select="$x - 1"/>
     <xsl:with-param name="y" select="$y + 1"/>

    </xsl:call-template>
   </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="td">
   <xsl:param name="x"/>
   <xsl:param name="y"/>


<xsl:element name="td">
     <xsl:attribute name="name"><!--this is where I need the values as
specified--></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>

   
   <xsl:if test="$x > 1">
    <xsl:call-template name="td">
     <xsl:with-param name="x" select="$x - 1"/>
     <xsl:with-param name="y" select="$y + 1"/>

    </xsl:call-template>
   </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>


Hope you can help me a bit more...Thanks in advance.
Kenny
