atomic value problem

bluetorch · October 28th, 2005, 08:14 AM

Code:

<table:table table:name="sheet1" table:style-name="ta1">
            <table:table-column table:style-name="co1" table:number-columns-repeated="11" table:default-cell-style-name="Default"/>
            <table:table-row table:style-name="ro1" table:number-rows-repeated="13">
                <table:table-cell table:number-columns-repeated="11"/>
            </table:table-row>
            <table:table-row table:style-name="ro1">
                <table:table-cell table:number-columns-repeated="5"/>
                <table:table-cell>
                    <text:p>Dsf</text:p>
                </table:table-cell>
                <table:table-cell table:number-columns-repeated="5"/>
            </table:table-row>

this is how the xml file looks like,

<table:table-row table:style-name="ro1" table:number-rows-repeated="13">
<table:table-cell table:number-columns-repeated="11"/>
</table:table-row>
outputs 13 empty rows with 11 columns. this is the main prob to get right in my xsl.

this is the piece of xsl that i already have, but i cant get the value of table:table-columns-repeated.

Code:

<xsl:template match="table:table-row">
        <xsl:choose>
            <xsl:when test="@table:number-rows-repeated">
                <xsl:call-template name="emptyRows">
                    <xsl:with-param name="countRows" select="@table:number-rows-repeated"/>
                </xsl:call-template>
            </xsl:when>
            <xsl:otherwise>
            <tr>


                <td class="header">
                    Y
                </td>
                <xsl:apply-templates select="table:table-cell"/>
                </tr>
            </xsl:otherwise>
        </xsl:choose>
    </xsl:template>

        <xsl:template name="emptyRows">
        <xsl:param name="countRows"/>
        <xsl:for-each select="1 to $countRows">
            <tr>
                <td class="header">
                    X
                </td>

                <xsl:call-template name="fillRows">


                </xsl:call-template>

            </tr>
        </xsl:for-each>
    </xsl:template>

        <xsl:template name="fillRows">
        <xsl:for-each select="1 to /@table:number-columns-repeated"> 

                <td width="70">
                    <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&amp;nbsp;</xsl:text>
                </td>
        </xsl:for-each>
    </xsl:template>

/@table:number-columns-repeated isnt right, i need to put something here that gives me the value of that attribute.
i already tried with variables and so on.. maybe XPath but i dont know how to use it

HELP !

if i put the value of that attribute manually then it works like its suposed to. like this

Code:

<xsl:for-each select="1 to 11"> 

                <td width="70">
                    <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&amp;nbsp;</xsl:text>
                </td>
        </xsl:for-each>

Code:

<xsl:template name="emptyRows">
        <xsl:param name="countRows"/>
        <xsl:for-each select="1 to $countRows">
            <tr>
                <td class="header">
                    X
                </td>

                <xsl:variable name="counterx">
                    <xsl:value-of select="table:table-cell/@table:table-columns-repeated"/>
                </xsl:variable>

                <xsl:for-each select="1 to $counterx">
                    <td>
                    <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&amp;nbsp;</xsl:text>
                    </td> 
                </xsl:for-each>

            </tr>
        </xsl:for-each>
    </xsl:template>

using this gives an errror that child::element(table-cell) cannot be used here: the context item is an atomic value

:(

Outside the for-each select="1 to n", do

<xsl:variable name="node" select="."/>

Around the xsl:call-template, do

xsl:for-each select="$node"
