Hi All!

I have a very delicate situation. Take for example the XML page:

http://www.mamaliga.com/onlineschedu...s_3_months.xml

and click on the "1 Available" link. You will be displayed with an AM and a PM time slots columns. The problem is that I don't know how to get the PM time slot to start up at the top. They always are displayed from where the AM slots end.

I believe it has something to do with ignoring the values that don't meet the true value for each xsl:if statements in the AM and PM templates at the bottom in the stlesheet...

Here is the stylesheet:

http://www.mamaliga.com/onlineschedu...s_3_months.xsl

Thanks!
Gabi.

>and click on the "1 Available" link

For the benefit of anyone else trying this, it doesn't do anything in Firefox, you need to find your long-forgotten copy of Internet Explorer.

As you could easily see if you inspect the HTML that you're generating as source HTML, rather than just looking it in the browser (which is a *really* bad way of debugging), you're generating an invisible "<a href=""><br/>" in the PM column for every time that isn't a PM time. You could solve that by moving the xsl:if to the outermost level of the template rule. But I would tackle this quite differently:

<td valign="top" bgcolor="#FFFF99">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="Time[contains(@slot, 'am')]"/>
</td>
<td valign="top" bgcolor="#CCFFFF">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="Time[contains(@slot, 'pm')]"/>
</td>

then

<xsl:template match="Time">
  <a class="Item" href="{@href}">
    <xsl:value-of select="@slot"/>
  </a>
  <br/>
</xsl:template>

Michael!!!!

You are ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!! You made my day! Seriously, no kidding! IT WORKS!

This comes with a question. I am usually working with XML Spy as an editor, and visualizing everything in the retarded Internet Explorer - where debuging is imposibble because of their stupid "The XML source is unavailable for viewing" message.
Is there an elegant way of visualising/debugging OTHER than Internet Explorer by any way? Any suggestions on maybe other browsers or MDIs?

Thanks again!!!!
