[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] RE: Number of times apply-templates gets executed.
 This is actually a pretty nice example of how XSL-think is different from the kind of thinking that is useful (and necessary) in procedural languages: At 12:07 PM 1/7/2003, you wrote: So I was thinking that if I could test and see if the displayCommunity template got applied or not then that will tell me we found a record or not. But I am not sure how to determine how many times that template was applied or not. Mmhm. In other words, you're asking for a side-effect (some kind of state that can tell you whether a given template was applied or not). But the same logic could be addressed by asking "does a matching record exist in the source?", and if not, outputting the error message. This question is very easy to ask in XSLT. And notice it is actually a more straightforward question -- being a question about your data, not your process. It's a nice little lesson, especially for those just getting their feet wet with XSLT. Please post again with a short example showing your source code, if you need more concrete suggestions.
