I got a UDT created without any problem.  It shows ok with the predefined xls settings.  All I want to do is have the header a certain background color and column size.  I know how to do it in html, so I Generate New xls file.  I read the whole manual.  Problem is that I get a header before every new record.  This is how my code looks:

<tr border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" class="normalbold" bgcolor="#ffff99">

<th></th><th>Date</th><th>Meeting Chair</th><th>Meeting Agenda</th><th>Presentation</th><th>Action Items</th>

</tr>

<tr border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" class="normal">

  <td>[UDT:EditLink]</td>

  <td>[Date_UDT_Value]</td>

  <td>[Meeting Chair]</td>

  <td>[Meeting Agenda]</td>

  <td>[Meeting Presentation]</td>

  <td>[Action Items]</td>

</tr>

I know this is simple but I cannot figure it out.

 

thanks

Miriam

You place the header inside the token template. This token template gets repeated for ever single record.

The trick is to place the header row directly into the created XSL:
...
< xsl:template match="/udt:UserDefinedTable">
< xsl:variable name="currentData" select="udt:Data" />
< table>
< tr border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" class="normalbold" bgcolor="#ffff99">
< th></th>< th>Date< /th>< th>Meeting Chair< /th>< th>Meeting Agenda< /th>< th>Presentation< /th>< th>Action Items< /th>
< /tr>
< xsl:apply-templates select="$currentData" mode="list">
< /xsl:apply-templates>
< /table>
< /xsl:template> 

The XSL may look different if you enbale some more options, however the template needs to be placed inside the udt:UserDefinedTable directly before the call of the list template.

Stefan,

Thanks for posting that.  I tried to see if I could do this after the original poster submitted their question.  I knew it was possible (because I've done it before), but kept putting my code in the wrong place.

It would be great if in the XSLT wizard, there was an option for "header" and "footer" to make things easier.

Stefan,

After months of doing fine with the instructions above, I figured out that there were indeed other "options".  I follow you instructions in detail, and although I'm able to get the header row, the fields do not sort or can't be clicked.  Any suggestions?
