Subject: Re: [xsl] xsl:when - comparing parameter and element values From: Jeni Tennison <mail@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 6 Jan 2001 11:34:59 +0000 |
Hi Edith, > I can't get the right syntax for the comparison between the two > values for xsl:when. What I want to test is when the 'showcasemgmt' > parameter contains the value "true" and the element 'casemgmtind' > contains the value "FALSE". You're using: $showcasemgmt='true' && CaseMgmtInd='FALSE' which is *almost* right, except that '&&' isn't valid XPath syntax. You want to use 'and' instead: $showcasemgmt='true' and CaseMgmtInd='FALSE' Similarly, XPath uses 'or' for or and not() for not and so on. Guessing at syntax is always problematic. > The second part to my question is...only if this case is NOT > satisfied, do I want to output a <tr>, if I leave the contents of > the "when" empty, will that work? You're using: <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$showcasemgmt='true' and CaseMgmtInd='FALSE'"></xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <tr>...</tr> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> That's fine, and it will work, but you might be interested in an alternative that's a bit shorter. You're only wanting to do something if it's *not* the case that $showcasemgmt is 'true' and CaseMgmtInd is 'FALSE', and that's all you're concerned about testing, so you can just use xsl:if instead: <xsl:if test="not($showcasemgmt = 'true' and CaseMgmtInd = 'FALSE')"> <tr>...</tr> </xsl:if> I hope that helps, Jeni --- Jeni Tennison http://www.jenitennison.com/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
