XSL styling with <ul>

John_Mc

Hi,

I have to display 3 items in a list using XSL for a web part in Sharepoint 2007.

How can I go about specifying the opening & close <UL> tags? Any method I have tried as resulted in a <ul></ul> for each list item

I would greatly appreciate and help or advice.

Thanks
John

Can you try rephrasing the question?

Sorry, I was in a bit of a rush

I am styling a content query webpart in ItemStyle.xsl.

The webpart needs to display the next 3 upcoming events from a Sharepoint list, in a HTML unordered list.

I am unsure of how to implement this in XSL, as I cannot apply the <ul> tag at the start and </ul> at the end. Each of the events could then be rendered like so:<li><xsl:value-of select="document"/></li>

The closest I can get to this is each of the 3 items being rendered in their own unordered list:

<ul><li><xsl:value-of select="document"/></li></ul>

Use a match template

Wrap the match template in an UL element and then each element apply the LI

Nice one, thanks!

My own post was a rush job but have a look at the revised post..

so what you will have is

<ul>
<xsl:apply-templates select="document" />
</ul>

<xsl:template match="document">
<li><xsl:value-of select="." /></li>
</xsl:template>

Or something similar
