Thanks Mike that worked well. Although David Carlisle now has me thinking. At the moment I check the parent type of the context node but as David suggested why not work the other way and check the child node of the context node. My opinion on this would be that each node can have multiple children so therefore each child would have to checked (David's approach). While each child only has one parent so only one parent would ever need to be checked. (Current approach) Although it is probably also the case that checking the parent for each child (current) is the same as checking the child for each parent (David). Confused ? I know I am ;o) Any one any ideas on the best approach ? -----Original Message----- From: owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Michael Kay Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2001 9:02 AM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: [xsl] Testing for Parent Nodes of multiple types One technique I used once was to write <xsl:variable name="cat"><xsl:apply-templates select=".." mode="cat"/></xsl:variable> <xsl:template match="p|b|i|u" mode="cat">A</xsl:template> <xsl:template match="*" mode="cat">B</xsl:template> <xsl:if test="$cat='A'"> ... Don't know whether that's appropriate here though: I had about 50 element types in the same category.
