vAlign/Align attribute for TD not working

kvbhaskar7 · November 29th, 2011, 03:57 AM

Hi,

I am working on a table and using the below code to generate a TD element with attributes.

Code:

<xsl:element name="TD">
				<xsl:attribute name="valign">
					<xsl:value-of select="Top"/>
				</xsl:attribute>
				<xsl:attribute name="Width">
					<xsl:value-of select="../../../@colwidth"/>%
				</xsl:attribute>
blah.....blah.....blah......
</xsl:element>


The width attribute is working fine, but align/valign attribute is not working. Say like, i have given valign as "top" in the above example, but still in my output table the data is coming in "middle". The same issue for align attribute if i assign left/right.

Any idea whats going on here?

<xsl:value-of select="Top"/> will select the textual value of the <Top> element. I'm guessing you actually want to ouput the string 'Top' instead.

Try <xsl:value-of select="'Top'"/>.

Better still, get rid of the <xsl:element> and <xsl:attribute> instructions and do it like this:

Code:

<TD valign="Top" width="{../../../@colwidth}%">
  ... blah blah blah
</TD>
