RE: work around for ?

[Robert McKinnon]

Perry,   Thanks for the information, I thought that it was pretty clever.  However,  I did run into another issue applying this technique.  If the number of elements that we are trying to iterate through is not divisible evenly by the number we are trying to mod with, it will not display the last elements.  For example, if I have 7 elements and I apply mod 4; the last three elements would not be displayed.  I was wondering if you or anyone would have a work around for this.   Thanks,   Rob -----Original Message----- From: Perry Molendijk [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, June 27, 2001 7:39 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: work around for <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">?

Hello, I am trying to dynamically build table rows from an xml file.  The solution that I came across indicated that I would need to use <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">.  When I tried to apply this solution I discovered that Cocoon does not support disable-output-escaping.  What would be an alternative solution?  The following are example snippets: [XML] <parent> <child> <name>child1</name> </child> <child> <name>child2</name> </child> <child> <name>child3</name> </child> <child> <name>child4</name> </child> <child> <name>child5</name> </child> <child> <name>child6</name> </child> </parent> [OUTPUT DESIRED] <tr> <td>child1</td> <td>child2</td> </tr> <tr> <td>child3</td> <td>child4</td> </tr> <tr> <td>child5</td> <td>child6</td> </tr> [RECOMMENDED XSL SOLUTION NOT SUPPORTED BY COCOON] <tr> <xsl:for-each select="parent/child"> <td><xsl:value-of select="name"/></td> <xsl:if test="position() mod 2 = 0"> <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"> <![CDATA[</tr><tr>]]> </xsl:text> </xsl:if> </xsl:for-each> </tr> --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please check that your question has not already been answered in the FAQ before posting. <http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/faqs.html> To unsubscribe, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
