Re: [xml-dev] Conditionally formatting a HTML table row using XML/XSL

[Richard Watt <richard@familywatt.co.uk>]

Hi Matthias,

My apologies - that's me remembering the tags incorrectly: it's using <xsl:attribute name="class"> </xsl:attribute>, and the actual XSL reads as:

> <TR><xsl:if test="ORDERSTATUS='Completed'">
>   <xsl:attribute-value name="class">trCompleted</xsl:attribute>
> </xsl:if>
>

Unfortunately, this doesn't work - the order details are always displayed in black regardless of the order status.

This is being used in the Google Chrome Version 98.0.4758.102 (Official Build) (64-bit) browser

Hi,

Are you sure xsl:attribute-value is a valid XSL element ? Does xsl:attribute work ?

Best,

Hello,

I was hoping I could get some advice on formatting a HTML table row from an XSL style sheet in Google Chrome running on Windows 10 - I can get the exact versions if needed and I'm running a SQL query on a database to get a list of orders for a customer with a CSS style sheet with a set of styles defined for the table rows according to the possible status values for an order:

• Completed: trCompleted = { color: green; }
  

• Rejected: trRejected = { filter: alpha(opacity=50); }
  

• Cancelled: trCancelled = { color: red; }
  

• In Progress: trInProgress = { color: orange; }
  

I'm displaying the data in the following columns in the table:

• Order Number
• Customer Name
• Account Number
• Description
  
• Net Value
• Sales Tax
• Gross Value
• Order Status

I want to format the rows so that their values are formatted with the appropriate CSS style class for the order status: what I've got at the moment is something along these lines after a <TR> tag (I've just listed the line for a row displaying a completed order and split up the formatting to make it more readable):

<xsl:if test="ORDERSTATUS='Completed'">
  <xsl:attribute-value name="class">trCompleted</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>

This seems to be ignored by Chrome and  the order data is displayed in a regular black font.

I've tried a few different ways of correcting this, including using a <xsl:choose> tag with a <xsl:when> for each case and a _javascript_ function to determine the style name from the order status, but none of these appear to have worked and
I was wondering what I'm doing wrong?

Best regards,
