Hello Alex,

I don't understand exactly what you want, but I assume the "mode" can help you. So you can have a template

<xsl:template match="node" mode="foo"/>

and a template

<xsl:template match="node" mode="bar"/>

So if you do an <xsl:apply-templates/> you can add a mode too:

<xsl:apply-templates select="node" mode="foo"/>

and on another place

<xsl:apply-templates select="node" mode="bar"/>

Does this solve your problem?

Hi, I ended up using this:

<xsl:apply-templates select="descendant::*[@key='key.string.1']"/>


Interestingly when using Saxon 7 I get this warning message:


Recoverable error
Ambiguous rule match for /page[1]/collection[1]
Matches both "collection" on line 3 of file:/C:/1_template.xsl
and "collection" on line 3 of file:/C:/2_template.xsl

I have 2 templates which both match the collection node set, and I need them to be generic user interface templates. To populate a drop-down list for example, or to fill in a textarea. Does anyone have any tips for a better way to perhaps organize the data or make the template match's more specific but still generic?

Thanks,
Alex

Hello List,

I have an xml document filled with key-value pairs that the xsl needs to use
to identify the proper nodes to process in the proper templates.


Given an xml like this:
<page>
<collection key="key.string.1">
<data>stuff</data>
<data>stuff</data>
</collection>
<collection key="key.string.2">
<data>stuff</data>
<data>stuff</data>
</collection>
</page>

And a template like this:
<xsl:template match="collection">
stuff...
</xsl:template

How would I write the select attribute of
<xsl:apply-templates select=" ? "/>

To properly select the collection node whose key attribute is equal to
key.string.1?


Thanks for any help on this, Alex
