i am trying to do this :

<xsl:if test="position() mod 2!=0">

<xsl:value-of select="&#60;"/>

<xsl:value-of select="tr" />

<xsl:value-of select="&#62;"/>

</xsl:if>

or

<xsl:if test="position() mod 2!=0">

<xsl:value-of select="&lt;"/>

<xsl:value-of select="tr" />

<xsl:value-of select="&gt;"/>

</xsl:if>

but no one of this work's!

when i try to run it i get i have an error "expression expected" : "--><<--

what can i do to over ride this problem?

thanks in advance

just take the instruction literally - is there any XML node named "&gt;" which the script should select? Or do you just want to include some [xsl:]text here...

<xsl:text>&gt;</xsl:text>

Or may be you want an XML/HTML element named "tr":

<xsl:element name="tr">sample text</xsl:element>....

since you are dealing with a template, why not include

<tr><xsl:value-of select="table/header/col1" /></tr>...

i need to use it as opening tag <TR> and clsing </TR>

so what to use?

thanks

peleg

Since you are exporting HTML

<tr><xsl:value-of select="table/header/col1" /></tr>...

ok maybe i didn't explain my self correct :

i want to do and if sentence that once will print <tr> and once <td>

and of course will close this tags!

the problem is when i try to do :

<xsl:if test="position() mod 2 =0">

<TR>

</xsl:if>

it tells me tag <xsl:if> dont match start tag <tr>

beacuse of that everyhing i tried didnt work!

what to do?

thnaks in advance

peleg

<xsl:if test="position() mod 2 =0">

<TR><TD>tablerow even</TD></TR>

</xsl:if>

<xsl:if test="position() mod 2 =1">

<TR><TD>tablerow odd</TR></TR>

</xsl:if>

xml/html must be well-formed, eg, you will have to close the <TR>tag before closing the <xsl:if> tag ....

yes but the problem is this :

in the start of the code :

<xsl:if test="position() mod 2 =0">

<TR>

</xsl:if>

.....

code.....

<xsl:if test="position() mod 2 =0">

</TR>

</xsl:if>

but this isnt working!

what u gave me dont help me!

what lse can i do"?

you will have to use correct nesting of tags. no way around it.

use

<xsl:if test="position() mod 2 =0">

<TR>thecomplete tablerow</TR>

</xsl:if>

and then

<xsl:if test="position() mod 2 =1">

<TR>thecompletetablerow again</TR>

</xsl:if>

it's not that difficult to repeat the text between <TR> and </TR> since most computers have copy & paste nowadays ....

i knew that but i didnt want double code( same code ) on my page!

beacuse of that i have posted that question hee from the begining!

Well, then try either ignoring the basic rules of processing XML and make up your own(the WW3C is an international body, after all ..) or learn to analyse your problem a bit further.
