Hi,

my xml looks like this

<sop_content>
<method_content>
<main_content/>

<main_image/>
<main_image_width/>
<main_image_height/>
<main_image_alt/>

<main_image/>
<main_image_width/>
<main_image_height/>
<main_image_alt/>

<main_image/>
<main_image_width/>
<main_image_height/>
<main_image_alt/>

</method_content>
</sop_content>

while i am trying to transfrom using for-each main_content & get value from following sibling main_image, I can see the first following sibling main_image only what if i have to show all the main_Images's next to the main_content.

this is how current xslt looks like

<td class="content" colspan="2">
<table class="Contents" WIDTH="100%" border="1" cellspacing="0">
<xsl:for-each select="//method_content/main_content">
<tr>
<td class="contents" style="width: 250px" align="center" valign="middle">

<FONT face="Arial" size="6" font-weight= "bold">
<xsl:number level="any" count="method_content"/>
</FONT>
</td>
<xsl:variable name="Image" select="following-sibling::main_image[position() = 1]"/>
<xsl:variable name="mainImageWidth" select="following-sibling::main_image_width[position() = 1]"/>
<xsl:variable name="mainImageHeight" select="following-sibling::main_image_height[position() = 1]"/>
<xsl:variable name="mainImageAlt" select="following-sibling::main_image_alt[position() = 1]"/>
<FONT face="Arial" size="2">
<td style="width: 450px" border="1"><xsl:copy-of select="."/></td>
</FONT>
<td style="width: 450px" border="1">
<xsl:if test="contains($Image,'/')">
<img src="/dctm-act{$Image}" width="{$mainImageWidth}" height="{$mainImageHeight}" alt="{$mainImageAlt}"/>
</xsl:if>

</td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</td>

I am not good at xslt..any help is appreciated ...Thanks...

First, following-sibling::main_image[1] is shorthand - there is no need for the 'position() = ' part of the predicate.

If you are using XSLT 2.0 then youwould probably use xsl:for-each-group with the group-starting-with attribute to split everything using the main_content element.

In XSLT 1.0 You could do something like this:

This would give you all the main_image elements where the preceding main_content had the same unique id as the current element (i.e. they are the same).

Think before you post: What have you tried?

<td class="content" colspan="2">
<table class="Contents" WIDTH="100%" border="1" cellspacing="0">
<xsl:for-each select="//method_content/main_content">
<tr>
<td class="contents" style="width: 250px" align="center" valign="middle">

<FONT face="Arial" size="6" font-weight= "bold">
<xsl:number level="any" count="method_content"/>
</FONT>
</td>

<xsl:for-each select="following-sibling::main_image[current()/generate-id()=preceding-sibling::main_content/generate-id()]">

<FONT face="Arial" size="2">
<td style="width: 450px" border="1"><xsl:copy-of select="."/></td>
</FONT>
<td style="width: 450px" border="1">
<xsl:if test="contains($Image,'/')">
<img src="/dctm-act{$Image}" />
</xsl:if>

</td>
</xsl:for-each></tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</td>


but when i add this thing in the xslt , it didnt worked.. Thanks

Well $Image would need to be declared, or replaced by '.' (to signify the current element).

e.g.:

Hi,


I am bit confused, as i said for one main content there will be many main_image's what if i have to add all the main_images follwing the main_content to one td. Sorry if i am confusing you. Thanks

<tr>
<td>
<table>
<xsl:for-each select="//method_content/main_content">
<tr>
<xsl:variable name="Image" select="following-sibling::main_image[position() = 1]"/>
<xsl:variable name="mainImageWidth" select="following-sibling::main_image_width[position() = 1]"/>
<xsl:variable name="mainImageHeight" select="following-sibling::main_image_height[position() = 1]"/>
<xsl:variable name="mainImageAlt" select="following-sibling::main_image_alt[position() = 1]"/>
</td>

<xsl:copy-of select="main_content"/>

</td>

<td>
<xsl:if test="contains($Image,'/')">
<img src="/dctm-act{$Image}" width="{$mainImageWidth}" height="{$mainImageHeight}" alt="{$mainImageAlt}"/>
</xsl:if>
</td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</td>
</tr>

...then you need to put the for-each inside the <td>
