Question

i wrote a xlst code to transform xml to html which creates lots of tables in html.

there is a column by name ‘Type’ in the table. which contains words

1) Trace
2) Verification
3) Action

the above 3 word’s will repeat many times in the same column of the table.
my requirement is to display how many times each word appeared in the column

and i should show the count immediately when the html page get loaded

---

Here goes the general schema of the tables

/*Table Schema*/
<table>
<tr>
 <th>Time</th>
 <th>Position</th>
 <th>Type</th>
 <th>Message</th>
</tr>
<tr>
 <td>....</td>
 <td>....</td>
 <td>Action</td>
 <td>....</td>
</tr>
<tr>
 <td>....</td>
 <td>....</td>
 <td>Verification</td>
 <td>....</td>
</tr>
<tr>
 <td>....</td>
 <td>....</td>
 <td>Trace</td>
 <td>....</td>
</tr>
<tr>
 <td>....</td>
 <td>....</td>
 <td>Error</td>
 <td>....</td>
</tr>

The above is the general schema of the table and the words action, trace, error, verification occurs many times in a single table
There will be arround 5 tables of each type

You can do this using jquery

Consider the example html

  <table>
<tr>
    <th>Trace</th>
    <th>Verification </th>
    <th>Action</th>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>A</td>
    <td>B</td>
    <td>CC</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>D</td>
    <td>E</td>
    <td>CC</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table>
<tr>
    <th>Some</th>
    <th>Thing</th>
    <th>Dont</th>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>A</td>
    <td>B</td>
    <td>CC</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>D</td>
    <td>E</td>
    <td>CC</td>
</tr>
</table>

The js will be

   $(document).ready(function ()
{
    getOccurance("CC");
    function getOccurance(word)
    {
        $("table").each(function (tindx, tobj)
        {
            var noOfOccurance = 0;
            $("tr td:gt(1)", $(tobj)).each(function (ind, obj)
            {
                if (word == $.trim($(obj).text())) noOfOccurance++;
            });

            alert("Word " + word + " occurs " + noOfOccurance + " times in table  " + (tindx + 1));
        })
    }

})
