Hi,
I've spent some time to figure out an easy way to solve the following
problem and failed, maybe some Guru can give me a clue?
Having XML input like
<set name="1">
<a>v1</a>
<c>v2</c>
<d>v3</d>
</set>
<set name="2">
<a>v4</a>
<b>v5</b>
<e>v6</e>
</set>
<set name="3">
<b>v7</b>
<f>v8</f>
</set>
I need to render a quadratic schema like
a b c d e f
1 v1 v2 v3
2 v4 v5 v6
3 v7 v8
in HTML, i.e., I need output like
<table>
<tr><td></td><td>a</td><td>b</td><td>c</td><td>d</td><td>e</td><td>f</td></t
r>
<tr><td>1</td><td>v1</td><td></td><td>v2</td><td>v3</td><td></td><td></td></
tr>
<tr><td>2</td><td>v4</td><td>v5</td><td></td><td></td><td>v6</td><td></td></
tr>
<tr><td>3</td><td></td><td>v7</td><td></td><td></td><td></td><td>v8</td></tr
>
</table>
Of course all dimensions are variable dependand on underlying
data. I thought, the problem boils down to obtaining the a list like
<n>a</n><n>b</n><n>c</n><n>d</n><n>e</n><n>f</n>
in a variable from the initial input. But I failed to obtain that, though
I'm fairly sure it has to "be there" :-(
Any help?
Thank you very much,
Frank
