Subject: RE: [xsl] Setting background colour according to contents of node From: "Michael Kay" <mhk@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 19 Sep 2004 09:18:23 +0100 |
Use <xsl:attribute name="background-color"> <xsl:apply-templates select="BREAK_3" mode="get-colour"/> </xsl:attribute> then <xsl:template match="* mode="get-colour"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="FIELD_134='Y' or ...> etc. </xsl:template> In other words, but the conditional code in the piece that generates the attribute that varies, not in the piece that generates its containing element.
