XSLT Confusion with xsl:apply-templates - xslt

As you can see, there are other elements under sibling nodes, but I don't care about these and only want to see the first one.
I'm using this code to call a template with the string of desired elements as the parameter
and a template to loop through the asterisk-delimited string parameter: (title*url*notes*)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

The only way I can access this template is to use the //*[name()=$first] syntax to extract the value of the element based on the name from the $first parameter.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks very much in advance. Not including the full XML as there are thousands of lines of unnecessary text.

</table>
</body>
</html>
Note: Inline data for headers, pseudo sequence parameter for filtering and sorting, modes not for processing the same element in different way but for processing different elements in the same way also.

I've found a solution, but I'm sure it's not the best way to do it. Within the templates for each of my expected fields, I have added:
<xsl:if test=position()=1">
.. process data here ..
</xsl:if>
Ideally, there would be a way to tell this to process only the first element it finds:
<th>
<xsl:apply-templates select="//*[name()=$first]">
<xsl:with-param name="header">true</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</th>
Edit: As I suspected, this will not work when there is more than one Catalog element to parse. So instead of grabbing the first element for each catalog parent element, it's grabbing the first element in the document every time

Xpath - How to get all existing attributes name of siblings

The goal is simple. I'm trying to build a table with attributes in columns.
My problem : Some siblings don't have the same attributes as the first one.
When I build the table head I retrieve the attributes name of the first node and then hope that attributes of the following siblings will be the same in the same order. That is not the case.
I get only columns id, key, value, myattr1 and the myattr2 attribute is placed in the myattr1 column.
For building the table, I want to get columns : id, key, value, myattr1, myattr2
How can I retrieve the whole list of existing attributes for the node I am working on and loop over it?
I am still working the same js and form (see link at the bottom). It now requires bootstrap (css and js).
I slightly changed the xml. Here it is :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Domain>
<Properties id="myid">
<Property id="DOM00000" key="mykey1" value="value1" myattr2="Mail"/>
<Property id="DOM00001" key="mykey2" value="value2" myattr1="EveryDay"/>
</Properties>
<Tokens>
<Token name="token1" comment="" ><![CDATA[mydata1---blah-blah-blah]]></Token>
<Token name="token2" comment="" ><![CDATA[mydata2---blah-blah-blah]]></Token>
</Tokens>
<Resources>
<Resource name="res1" type="W" current="0">
<Value><![CDATA[10]]></Value>

<Resource name="res2" type="W" current="0">
<Value><![CDATA[10]]></Value>

What you make use of here is a technique called Muenchian Grouping to get a list of distinct attributes, based on their name.
However, although the question just mentions about id, key, value, myattr1, myattr2, which are the Property attributes, it looks like you want to repeat it for the Token and Resource nodes too (i.e. you are trying to be generic). In this case, you define a key like so, which takes into account the main element name
<xsl:key name="attrs" match="/*/*/*/#*" use="concat(name(../..), '|', name())" />
Then, for a given element (such as Properties) you can get distinct attributes like so:
<xsl:variable name="attrs" select="*/#*[generate-id() = generate-id(key('attrs', concat(name(../..), '|', name()))[1])]" />
This can then be used to get the headers, and access the relevant attributes for each row.
Try this (abridged) XSLT:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" />
<xsl:key name="attrs" match="/*/*/*/#*" use="concat(name(../..), '|', name())" />
<xsl:template match="/*">
<xsl:for-each select="*">
<xsl:call-template name="tabcontent" />
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="tabcontent">
<xsl:variable name="attrs" select="*/#*[generate-id() = generate-id(key('attrs', concat(name(../..), '|', name()))[1])]" />
<table class="table table-striped table-hover">
<thead>
<tr>
<xsl:for-each select="$attrs">
<th>
<xsl:value-of select="name()" />
</th>
</xsl:for-each>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<xsl:for-each select="*">
<tr>
<xsl:variable name="current" select="." />
<xsl:for-each select="$attrs">
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="$current/#*[name() = name(current())]" />
</td>
</xsl:for-each>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</tbody>
</table>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

for loop and use the value

I've the below line in XML.
<tb class="3">

<td>
<b>English words </b>

<td al="r">

Here is my xslt.
<xsl:template name="table" match="tb">
<table class="frame-all">
<xsl:call-template name="cols"/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</table>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="cols">
<xsl:variable name="numbr" select="number(./#class)"/>
<xsl:variable name="colcnt" select="format-number(100 div $numbr,'##.#')"/>
<colgroup>
<!-- I want the condition here-->
</colgroup>
</xsl:template>
This gives me output of 33.3. And I want to create 3 cols(the class attribute value). And for each col the name should be increment value. as below.
<col name="1" width="33.3"/>
<col name="2" width="33.3"/>
<col name="3" width="33.3"/>
please let me know, how can i get the above result.
Thanks

If you are using XSLT 2.0, then one way to generate a specific number of elements, in your case col elements, is to use a variation of the xsl:for-each to do a specific number of iterations.
So, instead of doing <xsl:call-template name="colgroup"/> to call a recursive template, you could do this:
<colgroup>
<xsl:for-each select="1 to xs:integer($numbr)">
<col name="{.}" width="{$colcnt}"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</colgroup>
Note that you will need to define the xs namespace prefix in your stylesheet as follows
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" version="2.0">

though i have written a template match for pgs, while debugging, the flow is not entering the template. Please let me know where am i going wrong.
Thanks

and do the same for the secondary template.

Tell XSLT to use explicit template rather than wildcard

I have the following template that will display a label, and then the value(s) following it.
<xsl:template match="*" mode="row">
<xsl:param name="title"/>
<tr>
<td width="180">
<xsl:value-of select="$title"/>: </td>
<td>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="./*">
<xsl:for-each select="./*">
<xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</td>
</tr>
Called in the following instances:
<xsl:apply-templates select="Details/Detail/DateOfBirth" mode="row">
<xsl:with-param name="title">Date of birth</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:apply-templates>
<xsl:apply-templates select="Addresses" mode="row">
<xsl:with-param name="title">Address(s)</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:apply-templates>
Now - I don't want to have specify the label name each time I apply the template, that should be able to be determined by the node name.
So I create templates for each node to be applied:
<xsl:template match="DateOfBirth">
<xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="row">
<xsl:with-param name="title">Date Of Birth</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Addresses">
<xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="row">
<xsl:with-param name="title">Address(s)</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:template>
And call these with:
<xsl:apply-templates select="Details/Detail/DateOfBirth" mode="row">
</xsl:apply-templates>
<xsl:apply-templates select="Addresses" mode="row">
</xsl:apply-templates>
But it is applying the wildcard template, leaving the label empty. Is there a way to tell it to prefer the explicit template?
I think the reason it preferred the wildcard template is that you were applying templates with mode="row", and your new template rules were in the unnamed mode.
I would do this by creating another mode, with very simple template rules:
<xsl:template match="DateOfBirth" mode="label">Date of Birth</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Addresses" mode="label">Address(es)</xsl:template>
and then instead of passing the parameter, you mode="row" template can do
<td width="180">
<xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="label"/>
</td>
Incidentally your xsl:choose also seems amenable to templatization:
<xsl:template match="*[*]" mode="row">
<tr>
<td width="180">
<xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="label"/>
</td>
<td>
<xsl:apply-templates select="*"/>
</td>
</tr>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*[not(*)]" mode="row">
<tr>
<td width="180">
<xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="label"/>
</td>
<td>
<xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
</td>
</tr>
</xsl:template>
Here's the hack I did:
<xsl:template match="*" mode="row">
<xsl:param name="title"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$title=''">
<xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<tr>
<td width="180">
<xsl:value-of select="$title"/>: </td>
<td>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="./*">
<xsl:for-each select="./*">
<xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</td>
</tr>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
It checks if the title is blank, if it is (you're calling it for the first time), then it goes off and finds the explicit template for that node, which then re-calls it with the title.

Need to find table row having maximum number of table cell

Hi
I am using XSLT 1.0. My input looks like,
<table>
<tr>
<td/>
<td/>
<td/>
</tr>
<tr>
<td/>
<td/>
<td/>
</tr>
<tr>
<td/>
<td/>
<td/>
<td/>
</tr>
</table>
I want to know the maximum number of td in node. In this case, the maximum number of td is in 3rd tr and so my output should be 4. Need a template to do this. Thanks in advance
Here is an example which does not use recursion. It just uses an xsl:for-each to loop through the TR elements, ordering by the number of TD elements in each. The first one is then the maximum.
The maximum is put in a variable, called maxCells which, as an example, is made an attribute of the table.
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates select="table"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="table">
<!-- Variable holding the maximum number of cells in a row -->
<xsl:variable name="maxCells">
<xsl:for-each select="tr">
<xsl:sort select="count(td)" order="descending"/>
<xsl:if test="position() = 1">
<xsl:value-of select="count(td)"/>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:variable>
<!-- Copy the table, adding the maximum cells as an attribute -->
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:attribute name="MaxCells">
<xsl:value-of select="$maxCells"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<!-- Identity Transform -->
<xsl:template match="node()|#*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="#*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
When this stylesheet is applied to the provided table HTML above, the output is as follows:
<table MaxCells="4">
<tr>
<td/>
<td/>
<td/>
</tr>
<tr>
<td/>
<td/>
<td/>
</tr>
<tr>
<td/>
<td/>
<td/>
<td/>
</tr>
</table>
I'd like to know if you are really trying to count cells or rather columns. What would you consider the correct result for the following table?
<table>
<tr><td colspan="2"/><td/></tr>
<tr><td/><td colspan="2"/></tr>
</table>
If you're just counting cells then you expect 2 - and that's what both previous answers provide. The table has actually three columns, however, so if that's what you're looking for (like when converting XHTML tables to CALS) you need to tweak #Tim C's solution a bit: replace count(td) with sum(td/#colspan) + count(td[not(#colspan)]) both in the <xsl:sort/> element and in the <xsl:value-of/>.
Unfortunately, even then the calculation fails to provide correct column counts in all cases. For example, it comes up with 2 instead of 3 when given this:
<table>
<tr><td rowspan="2"/><td/></tr>
<tr><td/><td/></tr>
</table>
I have no idea how to solve that one. I've never seen it in live data either (knock on wood).
One more thing. My karma is not sufficient to comment on #Tim C's answer but I need to write this lest I forget: the stylesheet is wrong in that it sorts the cell counts lexically (i.e. it thinks "120"<"19"<"5") so if you have a row with 5 cells and another one with 10 you will get 5 as maximum. This is easy to fix by adding data-type="number" to the <xsl:sort/> tag.
You need to use recursion. Basically, the running-max template listed below runs for every tr child element of a table. It is first applied for the first child tr element, calculates the number of td elements, compares it to a running max, and then continues to do the same for following siblings, if there are any.
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
