RE: problem with xsl:choose

unfortunately i have some book about xlst ;)

my xml file
<data>
  <screen h=2 w=3 />
....
  <table h=2 w=4 />
....
</data>

sorry, i forget to mention that, the <screen> and <table> are NOT mandatory.
the xmldocument varies
and if for example the <table> tag is not in the document i dont want the
<table name='table'> to be in the final document.

<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:if test="not(//screen) and not(//table)">
    <xsl:message>error</xsl:message>
  </xsl:if>
  <xsl:apply-templates select="//screen|//table"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="screen">
  <table class=screen>
    <xsl:attribute name=tID>
      <xsl:value-of select="@h"/>
    <xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:call-template name='screenHdr'/>
    <!-- put whatever is in your current screen template here -->
  </table>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="table">
  <table class=table>
    <xsl:attribute name=tID>
      <xsl:value-of select="@h"/>
    <xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:call-template name='tableHdr'/>
    <!-- put whatever is in your current table template here -->
  </table>
</xsl:template>

i cant use only the <xsl:apply-templates ... /> because i dont want the
<table ...></table> to appear in the outputfile

you know now what i mean ?
