Question

I am creating a table from xml using xslt, and I want every other to be a different class.

Here is the xml:

<interfaces>
  <interface id="250" name="112test" odd="1"></interface>
  <interface id="251" name="113test" odd="0"></interface>
</interfaces>

Here is the relevant part of the xslt I’ve tried:

<xsl:template match="interfaces">
  <xsl:for-each select="interface">
    <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="@odd = '1'">
        <tr class="odd">
      </xsl:when>
      <xsl:otherwise>
        <tr>
      </xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>
  </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

How do I get this working? Or is there a better way of doing this, for instance by checking if the attribute exists instead of checking its value?

Answer 1

The perfect solution ended up being a combination of user639175 and Matthew Wilson’s answers:

<xsl:if test="position() mod 2 = 1">
   <xsl:attribute name="class">odd</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
