Dynamic Rows and Columns in XSL Table

[redgrL86]

Hi,

I am trying to create a table in XSL in which the number of columns depends on a given XML. For example, the XML below needs to have three columns, each with the title of the corresponding <Name> (but the number of columns needs to depend on the number of <FormulaValue > elements present a given XML).

I appreciate all help...I've been trying to figure this out for days.

Thank you,
Christine


XSL code:

[HTML]

<Step>
<FormulaValue >
<Name>CIP_FEED_ PUMP_SPEED</Name>
<Display>fals e</Display>
<Value/>
<Real>75</Real>
<EngineeringUni ts></EngineeringUnit s>
</FormulaValue>

<FormulaValue >
<Name>CIP_XFER_ PUMP_SPEED</Name>
<Display>fals e</Display>
<Value/>
<Real>35</Real>
<EngineeringUni ts></EngineeringUnit s>
</FormulaValue>

<FormulaValue >
<Name>FEED_FLOW _RATE</Name>
<Display>fals e</Display>
<Value/>
<Real>5.7</Real>
<EngineeringUni ts></EngineeringUnit s>
</FormulaValue>
</Step>

Hello, Christine!

I believe you're off to a great start. I will include an old code here, you can strip it for own use. Took this in college many moons ago. Please also delete some of it. I am including it all so when you try it, it works:

Save these in the same folder, double click the XML file and see it come to life.

Hope this helps...
