I have an XML document with the tags

<stagelist>
<stage name="Main Stage">
<band>
<name></name>
<time></time>
</band>
</stage>
<stage>
etc....

In my XSL document i want to style the document so i can do an if statment saying if the stage name is "Main Stage" display these bands. Else if its anything else displays these bands.

in my xsl document so far i have.
<table width="60%">
<b><i><xsl:value-of select="stagelist/stage/@name"/></i></b>
<tr>
<th align="left"><u>Band Name</u></th>
<th align="left"><u>Time</u></th>
</tr>
<xsl:for-each select="stagelist/stage/band">
<xsl:sort select="time"/>
<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select="name"/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="time"/></td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>

So i want to show two tables, one with all the bands from the stage with the name attribute "Main Stage" and the rest afterwards.

Please can anyone help with this?

Many thanks.

If you want to list it per stage you could have your for-each loop reference each stage, eg.:
<xsl:for-each select="stagelist/stage">
<table width="60%">
<b><i><xsl:value-of select="@name"/></i></b>
<tr>
<th align="left"><u>Band Name</u></th>
<th align="left"><u>Time</u></th>
</tr>
<xsl:for-each select="band">
<xsl:sort select="time"/>
<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select="name"/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="time"/></td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</xsl:for-each>

to conditionally select the stage 'Main Stage': at least 3 different ways:
1. Seperate for-each 's
<xsl:for-each select="stagelist/stage[@name='Main Stage']">
...
and <xsl:for-each select="stagelist/stage[@name <> 'Main Stage']">
for the rest.

2. Use templates:
<xsl:apply-templates select="stagelist/stage"/>
and have two templates
<xsl:template match="stage[@name='Main Stage']">
...
<xsl:template match="stage"> 

3. Same for-each, but use an <xsl:choose>
<xsl:for-each select="stagelist/stage">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="@name='Main Stage'">...</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>...</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each>

At least one of these should work for you.
