Re: [xsl] Excluding Matches in Template

[Wendell Piez <wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Karl,

You haven't told us enough to know for sure (you haven't said how the 
values of your ID nodes correspond to values in your source document), but 
my guess is the easiest thing to do would be wrap the template's contents 
in an "if" test, so:

<xsl:template match="z:row">
  <xsl:if test="not(@id = $excludes/ID)">
    Do your thing for rows that pass
  </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

I'm guessing that your rows have @id attributes on them.

Cheers,
Wendell
