Re: Borders on column groups

I didn't! Which is why i put a comment in my code snippet.
Usually the odd numbered nodes are white space text nodes.
if you have
<tr>
<th> ..</th>
<th> ..</th>
</tr>
then there are 4 child nodes of tr, and the two th's are 2 and 4.
if you want to use position() then zap the white space so
either use
<xsl:apply-templates select="th"/>
rather than
<xsl:apply-templates/>
that way there's only th nodes in the list and so only they count for
position()
or use
xsl:strip-space eleemnts="tr"
so you ignore white space in tr while building the input, or
define $x to be count(preceding-sibling::th)+1 rather than position().
