Subject: setting a property with value of a variable


Hi
 I want a set of tables with alternating background colours. To do this I
intend to set the background of the table with the value of a variable which
will contain white or grey. How do I do that?. Presently my .XSL
contains this -

RE: setting a property with value of a variable

2002-02-19 Thread Savino, Matt C 
If you need to use a variable instead of an attribute, try this (don't
forget the '$'):

   fo:table background-color={$bakColor} /


Or if you need the attribute to be the result of something more complicated
like a choose statement, you can use xsl:attribute:

fo:table
  xsl:attribute name=background-color
xsl:choose
  xsl:when test=position() mod 2 = '1'white/xsl:when
  xsl:otherwisegrey/xsl:otherwise
/xsl:choose
  /xsl:attribute


good luck,
Matt

Re: setting a property with value of a variable

2002-02-19 Thread jim hopp 
Also, I suspect the variable element should read:
xsl:variable name=bakColor select='yellow'/
rather than
xsl:variable name=bakColor select=yellow/
The first element sets the bakColor variable to the string 'yellow', the 
second sets it to the child element named 'yellow' if it exists.

RE: setting a property with value of a variable

2002-02-19 Thread Sampige, Srinivas 
For some reason position() did not work. But, thanks to you Matt, i finally
got things to work the way I wanted. For anybody else interested in the same
solution here is a segment of my XSL-

  xsl:template match=record
xsl:variable name=pos   
xsl:number level=any from=report/
/xsl:variable
fo:table
xsl:attribute name=background-color
xsl:choose
xsl:when test=$pos mod 2 =
'0'white/xsl:when
xsl:otherwisegrey/xsl:otherwise
/xsl:choose
/xsl:attribute

fo:table-column column-width=20mm/
fo:table-column column-width=20mm/

thanks
