Re: [xsl] Getting a where doesn't contain a colspan attribute

---

Hello David,

Thanks for the explanation.

What i indeed needed was a tablerow within the table where the cells didn't have a colspan. That way i can use that as the basis for generating the amount of <col> entries with some extra attributes (which weren't in the code yet). The later code wasn't correct yet cause i was trying some stuff out, which i maybe should have left out.

Regards,

Casper Voortman

ypu haven't really said what test you want (or why you need a test since
the for-each you have inside the test doesn't use the ColSpan attribute?

<xsl:when test="not(descendant::TableRow/Cell/@ColSpan)


is true if there are no ColSpan attributes


<xsl:when test="descendant::TableRow/Cell[not(@ColSpan)]

is true if there are Cell elements without a ColSpan attribute

 <xsl:for-each select="descendant::TableRow/Cell">
                        <col/>
                    </xsl:for-each>

That's going to give you a <col/> for every cell in the table, is that
really what you want?

perhaps you want to find if there is a row in which ever cell does not
span, and if so make a col/> for each element in the first such row.. in which case

<xsl:for-each select="descendant::TableRow[not(Cell/@ColSpan)][1]/ Cell">
<col/>
</xsl:for-each>

Best not to use descendant:: as its inefficient 9and wrong if there are
nested tables) I think probably it's

<xsl:for-each select="*/TableRow[not(Cell/@ColSpan)][1]/Cell">
                        <col/>
  </xsl:for-each>

where * will match TableHeader TableFooter or TableBody
