Subject: [xsl] Order of processing templates From: "Karl Stubsjoen" <karl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 20 Feb 2003 00:36:12 -0700 |
Hello, How does one *best* control the flow/process by which templates are followed? I assumed that it would be a top to bottom processing mechanism, but it does not necessarily seem so. So far, I have bee taking advantage of the XPATH syntax and am doing well at looping through different collections of nodes. However, just recently, I had two template calls one after each other, but the 2nd one processed first. This is a big nono, since I'm dependent on the order in which these output. Should I be using <xsl:for-each...> opposed to straight xpath matches? Here is a snipet of the XSL where the 2nd apply-template fired before the first: <xsl:template match="/"> select <xsl:apply-templates select="xml/s:Schema/s:ElementType/s:AttributeType[check='true']"/> from <xsl:value-of select="$table"/> <xsl:apply-templates select="xml/s:Schema/s:ElementType/s:AttributeType[where!='']"/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="xml/s:Schema/s:ElementType/s:AttributeType[check='true']"> <xsl:value-of select="@name"/> <xsl:if test="position()!=last()">,</xsl:if> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="xml/s:Schema/s:ElementType/s:AttributeType[where!='']"> <xsl:if test="position()=1"> where </xsl:if> <xsl:value-of select="@name"/>= <xsl:value-of select="where"/> </xsl:template> Thanks for the help!
