RE: Newby Question...

Hi Aaron,

For a start, you have 

<xsl:variable name="hrefvalue"
expr="concat('http://development.uwe.ac.uk:8001/modules/caslogin.asp?code=',
$modulename)"/>

Where the attribute 'expr' is invalid, it should be 'select' of course.

Then, about your problem, as Anton Triest (cking) suggests, you should be
able to play with the colspan attribute of each table cells.

As an alternative, you could separate each row 'tr' in one single table, and
set table cell widths according to their duration in time. The set of tables
can be encapsulated in one single table definition with a border set to 1,
and the individual tables set to no border, and each cell with a border. The
result should be similar to what you want. You can even add colors to give
it a more professional look, but that's the next step of course :-)

HTH,
<prs/>

Hi...

I am fairly new to XSLT so please bear with me...

I am trying to populate a timetable with XML data using XSL.

The cells of the table are coded into the XSL. When an item appears in the
timetable, if it occurs in one or more periods, the cells are populated with
data. I would like to have it so that the data stretches across the cells
and appears only once instead of repeating.

I think I know how it would be done but I just don't have the knowledge to
"do it!"

Here is an example of how it looks now and how I would like it to look:

If anybody can give me any advice I would be most grateful.

AJ
