    creating unclosed tag in xslt

    I have two nested foreach loop. inner loop generates <td> tags to construct a table. IF i try to add this line

    <xsl:if test="position() mod 3 =0"><tr></xsl:if>  

    Similary another if for </tr> tag.  

    But when I saves my xslt it gives me error for unclosed <tr> tag.

    Please help me how  I can do this.

    Hi rajeev

    You need to cheat a bit here in order to make this work

    Try writing this

    <xsl:if test="position() mod 3 =0"><xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[<tr>]]></xsl:text></xsl:if> - This should be enough and let's the XML parser know it should not try to parse this element.

    So to make your </tr> work I guess it should be placed within the same test? Like this

    <xsl:if test="position() mod 3 =0">

    <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[<tr>]]></xsl:text>

    <!--your code here-->

    <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[</tr>]]></xsl:text>

    </xsl:if>

    Does this help?

    Even if i do this  <table><xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[<tr>]]></xsl:text><xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[</tr>]]></xsl:text></table>

    I get nothing. I can't see the <tr> tag in source of page that i need to show.

    Hi rajeev,

    Take a look at my solution for this one: http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/xslt/11692-Simple-table-row-example-with-XSLT-templates

    which was a modification of this one: http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/xslt/11527-Problem-with-listing-HTLM-strcuture-with-XSLT

    They show how to properly deal with tables (or other grouped output).

    Please ask away here if you need further help - maybe show a little more of your code, so we can guide you as good as possible.

    Hi Rajeev

    You should definently listen to Chriztian on this one and not my evil twin who must have posted earlier *ahem*...:-) That's apparently a study on how NOT to do it. I hang my head in shame and go to the naughty corner for a while.

    Thumbs up Chriztian and thanks for making elegant solutions :-)
