Subject: [xsl] Conditional initialisation of variable outside a template: just checking From: "Michael Beddow" <mbnospam@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 11 Aug 2001 11:30:03 +0100 |
Can I just check up that I've got the right idea about something? I have a sheet that needs to initialise a variable that will be in scope in all templates. I was doing this near the top of the sheet with <xsl:variable name="mainID" select ="//body//div/@id"/> Fine. But now I'm gettimg data that disregards the project's encoding guidelines and uses div1 in the place of div. Since I know I can't use <xsl:choose> or <xsl:if> outside a template for a conditional initialisation, I came up with this <xsl:variable name="mainID" select ="//body//div1/@id | //body//div/@id"/> which works in all the cases I've tried. But am I storing up some sort of problem for myself, and if so, is there a better way?
