Broken javascript

[halbj]

I have recently converted my CDML solution to XSLT and am going through and fixing it up. In my CDML solution I had a Javascript to produce a Summary of a found set of records. It is a simple JS that writes a the heading (Summary Field) and data if it is different to the previous record, otherwise just writes the record data. eg

Type 1

object 1

object 2

object 3

Type 2

object 4

object 5

object 6

I have redone the script for XSLT, but for some reason when i add the 'esle' part to my script i get nothing - that is the script appears to evaluate (if I view page source), but nothing is written to screen.

It works if I only have the 'If' statement (I obviously get heading and record data for all records) but not the 'else' statement. I have attached the script..

Please attach the code, there's no attachment.

There are missing curly brackets after the else clause, and a missing ; after the sCat = ... line.

BTW: Why do you do that in JavaScript, and not everything server-side in XSLT? Would be much more elegant and faster, and you don't have to rely on the user if he has turned on JavaScript in his browser.

The reason I am using Javascript is because I was advised to use it with the CDML solution. I will look into the XSLT code - thanks

Ok, so I got no idea how to tackle this - I can understand the 'when' and 'otherwise' tags, but how do I compare the value of a field for each record in my list with the value from the previous record. Do I need to define a varibale? how do I do this.

thanks
