I'm doing the same test for many different elements.... I can't see how the named template gains me anything? It doesn't make the code any more compact, and although the call to the named template likely adds no overhead, passing the parameter might? Moreover, the test is still done. A smart compiler shouldn't have much more overhead for a modal template than a named template, or am I missing something? -----Original Message----- From: Dunning, John [mailto:JDunning@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, June 07, 2002 9:57 AM To: 'xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: RE: If vs. apply-templates for optional attributes If you're going to be using this type of test frequently (I'm not sure whether you meant for the same element a dozen times or for a dozen elements), you could use a named template with a parameter: <xsl:template match="testelement"> <xsl:call-template name="attTest"> <xsl:with-param name="node" select="."/> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:template> <xsl:template name="attTest"> <xsl:param name="node"/> <xsl:copy> <xsl:if test="not($node[@attr])"> <xsl:attribute name="attr">test</xsl:attribute> </xsl:if> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> HTH, John XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
