Re: determine the number of payment methods and specif

Sorry...first time in posting here...

ok, so here's an amended version of the XSL:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
...
<xsl:template name="checkOutProgressStep">
  <xsl:param name="label"/>
  <xsl:variable name="noOfNodes" select="count(/order/paymentMethods/*)" />

<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$noOfNodes = '3'"><!-- check for 3 elements -->
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$label = 'directDebit'">
<li class="doubleLine current">Payment by <br/>Direct Debit</li>
<li class="doubleLine">Payment by <br/>Credit Card</li>
<li class="doubleLine">Payment by <br/>Invoice</li>
</xsl:when>

<xsl:when test="$label = 'creditCard'">
<li class="doubleLine completed">Payment by <br/>Direct Debit</li>
<li class="doubleLine current">Payment by <br/>Credit Card</li>
<li class="doubleLine">Payment by <br/>Invoice</li>
</xsl:when>

<xsl:when test="$label = 'invoice'">
<li class="doubleLine completed">Payment by <br/>Direct Debit</li>
<li class="doubleLine completed">Payment by <br/>Credit Card</li>
<li class="doubleLine current">Payment by <br/>Invoice</li>
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:when>

  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
...
</xsl:stylesheet>

You'll notice that for the current payment method (specified in the xsl:when test="..."), the class "current" is added. If a payment method exists before the current one, then this will have a class "completed", whereas any subsequent to the current matching payment will have no extra class.

The XML file comes through as :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="InvoiceForm.xslt"?>

<order>
   <!-- for navigation -->
   <paymentMethods>
       <!-- shopping cart had credit card and invoice payments;
credit card payment is already completed -->
       <creditCard />
        <invoice />
   </paymentMethods>
...
</order>

So, each page would have label set as
creditCard - for CC payment
directDebit - for DD payment
invoice - for invoice payment.

Within the XML, the paymentMethods area can have one, two or three
nodes available (no more or less).

The problem that I have (besides not knowing that much), is that if
all three payment methods are applicable, then they need to be in the
order:

DD payment
CC payment
I payment

DD payment should always be first, and I payment last.

If the label is set to creditCard (for example), then that indicates
the page is a Credit Card page.  If this is the case, then the class
applied to the relevant list item will be class="doubleLine current".
If there are 3 payment methods for the xml, then DD payment should
have a class set as class="doubleLine completed" and Invoice should be
class="doubleLine".

So not only do I need to determine the number of payment methods
present, but I need to specify a type of order to them, and apply the
relevant class, depending on the page type being viewed.

<xsl:template match="paymentMethods">
  <ul>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="directDebit"/>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="creditCard"/>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="invoice"/>
  </ul>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="directDebit">
  <li class="?">Payment by <br/>Direct Debit</li>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="creditCard">
  <li class="?">Payment by <br/>Credit Card</li>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="invoice">
  <li class="?">Payment by <br/>Invoice</li>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="directDebit">
  <xsl:variable name="status">
    <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="$label = 'directDebit'">current</xsl:when>
      <xsl:otherwise>completed</xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>
  </xsl:variable>
  <li class="doubleLine {$status}">Payment by <br/>Direct Debit</li>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="creditCard">
  <xsl:variable name="status">
    <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="$label = 'directDebit'>completed</xsl:when>
      <xsl:when test="$label = 'creditCard'>current</xsl:when>
      <xsl:otherwise/>
    </xsl:choose>
  </xsl:variable>
  <li class="doubleLine {$status}">Payment by <br/>Credit Card</li>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="invoice">
  <xsl:variable name="status">
    <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="$label = 'invoice'>current</xsl:when>
      <xsl:otherwise/>
    </xsl:choose>
  </xsl:variable>
  <li class="doubleLine {$status}">Payment by <br/>Invoice</li>
</xsl:template>

  <xsl:variable name="status">
    <xsl:if test="$label = 'directDebit'"> current</xsl:if>
  </xsl:variable>
  <li class="doubleLine{$status}">Payment by <br/>Direct Debit</li>

<ul>
  <li class="doubleLine completed">Payment by <br/>Direct Debit</li>
  <li class="doubleLine">Payment by <br/>Invoice</li>
</ul>
