Re: [xsl] xsl: using attribute value in apply-templates select

["Alex Reuter" <xslalex@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

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
