RE: [xsl] OR in test

["Michael Kay" <michael.h.kay@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you want to use "or" in a test, use "or", and not "|", which means
union.

Also note, 
>           <xsl:variable name="type">
>    	   <xsl:value-of select="@type"/>
>           </xsl:variable>

is a very inefficient way of writing
<xsl:variable name="type" select="@type"/>

while

>                 <xsl:element name="input">
>  	          <xsl:attribute name="name">
>  	          <xsl:value-of select="@name"/>
>  	          </xsl:attribute>
>  	           <xsl:attribute name="type">
>  	           <xsl:value-of select="@type"/>
>  	           </xsl:attribute>
>  	           <xsl:apply-templates/>
>  	        </xsl:element>

is a rather long-winded way of writing

<input name="{@name}" type="{@type}">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</input>
