XSL Advanced abilities

[Guest_imported]

Can the XSL (transforming xml to html ) identify a last tag element? for example- if we want to present the last element <row> or <Field> highlighted?

<Columns>
<Column>Projects</Column>
<Column>Total Per Project</Column>
<Column> Precentage</Column>
</Columns>
<Rows>
<Row>
<Field>Project1</Field>
<Field>20</Field>
<Field>14.3%</Field>
</Row>
<Row>
<Field>Project2</Field>
<Field>15</Field>
<Field>13.2%</Field>
</Row>
<Row>
<Field>Project3</Field>
<Field>38</Field>
<Field>20.1%</Field>
</Row>


</Rows>

 

[JJR]

use the last() function in your xPath query.

So suppose you want the value of the first field item in the last row and your root element is called Table:

<xsl:value-of select=&quot;Table/Rows/Row[last()]/Field[1]&quot;/>

Good luck!
