XSLT transformation problem

Asked by taus01 in Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSLT), Extensible Markup Language (XML), Extensible HTML (XHTML)

Tags: ,

I have a problem transforming a XML file with XSLT into a specific HTML file. See attached Code snippet for the XML/HTML.

The basic problem is that for the first <MODULE_RESULT> i need the child nodes to be enclosed in a <tr id="firsttalent"><td> (one table with all the children goes here) </td></tr>

For the rest of the <MODULE_RESULT> elements i need all of them enclosed in a different <tr id="moretalents"><td> (one table per MODULE_RESULT with all the children) </td></tr>

I know how to select the children etc, the problem is that i do not know how to create multiple tables for all but the first <MODULE_RESULT> enclosed in the different <tr> tag.

I tried select="MODULE_RESULT[position()&gt;1]" and such but always ran into problems applying all the tables within. It must be pretty simple but i can't seem to find the solution.

Please take a look at the Code Snippet. Can you help me writing the XSLT?Start Free Trial
