Finding the 10th row in a xsl

SOMANATHAN10 · February 14th, 2007, 06:32 AM

I am not able to use the position function and predicate the if
condition along with for-each does not work for me.

    <xsl:for-each select="catalog/cd">
     <xsl:if some condition>
     For every 10th time I need to call a template.
   How to identify the every 10th row???

Sometime I use a variable & MOD:

Code:

 

<xsl:for-each select="catalog/cd">
<xsl:variable name="pos" select="position()"/>
     <xsl:if $pos mod 10 = 1>
.......

This is not tested. let me know how it works out.

Is this supposed to be a question, or is it some random musings? If you want people to spend time helping you, please say clearly what you are trying to achieve and where your difficulty lies.

Mich,

This is my question:I am trying to call header template when an if condition is satisfied. See the following lines in the code snippet.
I am not able to call the header template as the position value is frequently changing.Anyhow I want to identify the every 10th row.This is my requirement.
<xsl:if test position() mod 10 = 1>
<xsl:call-template name="header">
</xsl:if>

code snippet:
===========

<xsl:for-each select="/job/summary/sunAlertReport/rs:sunAlertReportSummary/rs:sunAlertSummaryList/rs:sunAlertSummary/rs:sunAlertId[generate-id()=generate-id(key('distinct-segcode',.))]">
                                    <xsl:sort order="ascending" select="."/>
                                    <xsl:variable name="SA" select="."/>
                                    <xsl:if test="count(/job/summary/sunAlertReport/rs:sunAlertReportSummary/rs:sunAlertSummaryList/rs:sunAlertSummary[rs:sunAlertId=$SA]/rs:oriNext/rs:oriNextList/rs:oriRule[rs:severity = 'Critical']) > 0">
                                    <xsl:if test position() mod 10 = 1>
                                    <xsl:call-template name="header">
                                    </xsl:if>
                                    <xsl:call-template name="saItem">
                                    <xsl:with-param name="hostCount" select="$hostCount"/>
                                    <xsl:with-param name="severity">Critical</xsl:with-param>
                                    </xsl:call-template>
                                    </xsl:if>
                                </xsl:for-each>

Looks like a tough one to crack with XSLT 1.0. Can you use 2.0?

Please try to describe your *requirements", that is, the input and output of the transformation, not the code you are trying to write to solve the requirement. Then we could consider alternative approaches.
