Hi everyone!

Maybe this is a little to simple, but here it goes:

im iterating in a node, lets say

<xsl:for-each select="a/b/c/x">

which each one of it has an attribute title.

Now each one of these x´s can have one or more y´s that have the title as an atrribute of the parent node.

I want to make a html table that looks like this:



                 Type
Node titleA titleB titleC titleD
________________________________________
y1 X
y2 X
y3 X
y4 X
y5 X
y6 X
y7 X
...


so my code(pseudo) looks like:

//fill the first line(node and type)
//fill the second line which includes:
<xsl:for-each select="a/b/c/x">
    draw a column

//and then
<xsl:for-each select="a/b/c/x">
         <xsl:for-each select="y">
         <tr>
             - td for "node"
             - <xsl:for-each select="a/b/c/x">
                    draw a column(?)
         </tr>

?- How can I get the value of y here??

My explanation is a little confusing, but what i really want is to know how can i get the value of it in the context of the first iteration(the two fors) ignoring the second iteration.Is that possible.Is there another way of doing it?

Thanks

I don't fully grasp what you want but you seem to be thinking along procedural lines rather than functional/declarative. Can you post a small example of the XML and the desired result?

Could you please show some real input and output? I can't figure out what these x's and y's are supposed to represent. Are you literally putting x's in the cells of your output table, or does x represent something else?
