How to use xsl:for-each in xslt to get value iteratively from an xml file

  • 0

How to use xsl:for-each in xslt to get value iteratively from an xml file and to dispaly it in table fromat

For example: the xml file is like 

<order>
  <item name ="a"/>
  <item name ="b"/>  
  <item name ="c"/>
  <item name ="d"/>
  <item name ="e"/>
  <item name ="f"/>
  <item name ="g"/>
</order>

and the output should be

  a    b    c   d

  e    f    g

the loop should count the item and if it is divisble by 4 it

should close the current row and add a new row and so on..

i’m using the following xslt for this

but i can not display it in table format

   <xsl:template match="/">
    <html>
    <body>
     <xsl:call-template name ="incr">
        <xsl:with-param name ="value">1</xsl:with-param>
        <xsl:with-param name ="limit">
          <xsl:value-of select ="count(//item)"/>
        </xsl:with-param>
      </xsl:call-template>
  </body>
</html>
</xsl:template >
<xsl:template name="incr">
  <xsl:param name="value"/>
  <xsl:param name ="limit"/>
  <xsl:if test ="$value!=$limit+1">
    <xsl:value-of select ="//item[$value]/@name"/>
    <xsl:if test ="$value mod 4 =0">
      <br/>
      <br/>
    </xsl:if>
    <xsl:call-template name ="incr">
      <xsl:with-param name ="value" select ="$value+1"/>
      <xsl:with-param name ="limit" select ="$limit"/>
    </xsl:call-template>
  </xsl:if>

</xsl:template>
