RE: can templates be nested?

question about :

i'm  trying to have an xml/xsl document work in netscape , and it does not
seem to.
if already works in ie. Any idea how this can be done?


this is the init code:

src = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0");
				src.async = false;
				src.load("pagl.xml");

				ss = new ActiveXObject('MSXML2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument.4.0');
				ss.async = false;
				ss.load("Catalog.xsl");

				cache = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XSLTemplate.4.0");
				cache.stylesheet = ss;

				createLists();

thanks,
dmitri

When pasting code samples, please re-indent them to use a couple spaces,
like
I did above, rather than using tabs. Your second line has 5 tabs(!) which on
many screens means 40 spaces!

The template above matches a 'person' element that has a 'label' parent,
'album' grandparent, and so on. It may not be necessary to specify anything
but 'person' in the match, unless there is a risk you would be processing
any 'person' elements that appear in different contexts.

Why would you want to invoke the template for 'person' elements? You didn't
quite explain what the correlation is between 'person' and 'track'. In fact,
I
see no example of 'person' elements in your XML, so I can only assume that
all
the info you need is in the 'track' element. Wouldn't this work (in your
track
template)?

<td align="right">
  <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="contains(@email,'@')">
      <a href="mailto:{@email}";>
        <xsl:value-of select="."/>
      </a>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise>&#160;</xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
</td>
