apply xslt to xml content - xslt

Question

I am using xslt. My input file is
<table bnf_id="bnf_204272" colsep="1" frame="all" id="nzf_3865" otherprops="HRT Risk table" pgwide="1" rowsep="1"><title>HRT Risk</title><tgroup cols="8" colsep="1" rowsep="1"><colspec colname="col1" /><colspec colname="col2" /><thead><row><entry morerows="1" rowsep="1">Risk</entry><entry morerows="1" rowsep="1">Age range (years)</entry><entry colsep="1" nameend="col4" namest="col3" rowsep="1">Background incidence per 1000 women in Europe not using HRT</entry><entry colsep="1" nameend="col6" namest="col5" rowsep="1"><b>Additional</b>
cases per 1000 women using
<b>oestrogen only HRT</b>
(estimated)
</entry><entry colsep="1" nameend="col8" namest="col7" rowsep="1"><b>Additional</b>
cases per 1000 women using
<b>combined (oestrogen-progestogen) HRT</b>
(estimated)
</entry></row><row><entry>Over 5 years</entry><entry nameend="col8" namest="col1"><b>Note</b><p>Where background incidence or additional cases have not been included in the table, this indicates a lack of available data. NS indicates a non-significant difference</p><p>

My xslt is
<xsl:template match="tgroup">
<tr>
<xsl:if test="#cols">
<xsl:attribute name="cols">
<xsl:value-of select="#cols"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="#colsep">
<xsl:attribute name="colsep">
<xsl:value-of select="#colsep"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="#rowsep">
<xsl:attribute name="rowsep">
<xsl:value-of select="#rowsep"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="#align">
<xsl:attribute name="align">
<xsl:value-of select="#align"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:for-each select="colspec">
<th>
<xsl:if test="#colwidth">
<xsl:attribute name="width">
<xsl:value-of select="#colwidth"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="#colname">
<xsl:attribute name="colname">
<xsl:value-of select="#colname"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="#align">
<xsl:attribute name="align">
<xsl:value-of select="#align"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="#colsep">
<xsl:attribute name="colsep">
<xsl:value-of select="#colsep"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="#colnum">
<xsl:attribute name="colnum">
<xsl:value-of select="#colnum"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
</th>
</xsl:for-each>
</tr>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
But having the above code in same XSLT file, my second match for th is executed.
So i get the empty th like
<th></th>
But i need to insert the ... between the tags. How to solve it?

Answer 1

Couldn't you simply add the following xsl:if condition before the closing </th> tag?
<xsl:if test="#colnum">
<xsl:attribute name="colnum">
<xsl:value-of select="#colnum"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="text() = ''">
<xsl:text>...</xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
