Subject: [xsl] Looking for a concise way of specifying an conditional attribute in output From: John McGowan <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 4 May 2011 13:03:22 -0500 |
I'm looking for a more concise way of doing this particular pattern that shows up a lot in (x)html forms. .. <option value="{@value}> <xsl:if test="@value eq something"><xsl:attribute name="selected" select="'selected'" /></xsl:if> other stuff </option> .. I tried this out, thinking that it might work... <option value="{@value}> <xsl:value-of select="isSelected(@value,something)"> other stuff </option> with a reusable function like this <xsl:function name="isSelected"> <xsl:param name="v1"/> <xsl:param name="v2"/> <xsl:if test="$v1 eq $v2"><xsl:attribute name="selected" select="'selected'" /></xsl:if> </xsl:function> But instead I ended up with the word selected showing up inside of the option element, not as an attribute. I've been doing it the first way for years, and was just hoping I could make it a little cleaner, but you must not be able to return just an attribute from a function and have it make it's way into the element containing the function call. -- /John
