I am writing business forms using XML and XSLT. The idea is to give the form a "green-bar" style.

I have a <xsl:for-each> within a <xsl:for-each> which is a <fo:table> within a <fo:table>

so snippet of the code:


(a bunch of table setup).....
<xsl:for-each select="dc:Detail_line">
<fo:table-row>
      <xsl:if test="position() mod 2 != 0">
         <xsl:attribute name="background-color">#DDDDDD</xsl:attribute>
        </xsl:if>
        <xsl:if test="position() mod 2 = 0">
         <xsl:attribute name="background-color">#FFFFFF</xsl:attribute>
        </xsl:if>
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:block>
....... (a bunch of table setup) ......
<xsl:for-each select "dc:Quote_Information>
  <fo:table-row>


is there a way at this point to remember what the background color of the original row was? It cannot be inherited due to some other stuff I have going on (dealing with borders of the cells - If I inherit the background color, I get a double line between the <fo:table-header> row and the first record in the <fo:table-body>.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
