Re: [xsl] Applying a Default Template

[Michael Kay <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You could use modes:

<xsl:template match="row/*">
<td><xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="specific"/></td>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template mode="specific" match="money">
<span class="money" onclick="ShowMeMoney()">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</span>
</xsl:template>
