I currently have an XSL file set up with the code below:
<xsl:for-each select="/DESCRIPTIONS/"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when match=".[DESCRIPTION='Description']"> <tr bgcolor="#cccccc"> <td align="left"> <xsl:value-of select="DESCRIPTION"/> </td> </tr> </xsl:when> <xsl:when match=".[DESCRIPTION='Description3']"> <tr bgcolor="#cccccc"> <td align="left"> <xsl:value-of select="DESCRIPTION"/> </td> </tr> </xsl:when> <xsl therwise><tr> <td align="left"> <xsl:value-of select="DESCRIPTION"/> </td> </tr> </xsl therwise></xsl:choose> </xsl:for-each> The current code works fine, and it's sole purpose is to change the background color of every other row. My problem/question comes from the fact that my current solution is hardly a dynamic way to work with the data. As soon as there's a Description5 or Description7 etc... the row color changes will either have to be manually entered or the color alternating will just end up stopping. Does anyone know of a way to make the rows continue to alternate colors? Is there a way to use while loops in XML/XSL that I am missing? I'm hoping this is just an easy answer I'm overlooking. (Take it easy on me... I'm brand new at this) |

Solution: (Maybe it can help someone else out there looking for a similar solution)
Step 1) Create a CSS file to store your colors. color0="#FFFFFF" color1="#EEEEEE" Step 2) Call to that CSS file from your XSL file. <HTML> <head> <title></title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="color.css"/> </head> Step 3) Where you call the table rows, use: <tr> <xsl:attribute name="class"> color <xsl:eval>childNumber(this)% 2</xsl:eval> </xsl:attribute> <xsl:apply-templates/> <td align="left"><xsl:value-of select="description"/></td> </tr> It worked for me... hope it helps you as well. |
