Hi Mike,
another possibility is a strongly parameterized named template.
An example:
<xsl:template match="myNode">
<html>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<xsl:call-template name="td">
<xsl:with-param name="attributes" select="@*"/>
<xsl:with-param name="content" select="node()"/>
<xsl:with-param name="width" select="500"/>
<xsl:with-param name="bgcolor" select="red"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="td" name="td">
<xsl:param name="attributes" select="@*"/>
<xsl:param name="content" select="node()"/>
<xsl:param name="width" select="500"/>
<xsl:param name="bgcolor" select="red"/>
<td width="{$width}" bgcolor="{$bgcolor}">
<xsl:apply-templates select="$attributes"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="$content"/>
</td>
</xsl:template>
But this can be sometimes really difficult to handle.

Hi Joerg,
I'm just experimenting with ways of using xml/xsl. Sure I could use css, but
I prefer keeping things clean and maintainable from one file. I'm a great
believer in a clear seperation between data and layout, and the simplier I
can find ways to control the styling the better, which is why I was hoping
to do away with css altogether and use xsl templates for everything.
I'm using a server-side asp transform for the processing, so any use of
xsl/xml needs to be very efficient to compete with a pure asp scripted
solution.

Hi Mike,
if you really want to style every <td> in the same way, why don't you
want to use CSS?
td {
width: 500px;
background-color: red;
}
If not, what's your processing framework? In Cocoon for example a 2 step
transformation would be really easy. More information on xalan:nodeset()
you can find at
http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/extensionslib.html#ex-nodeset.

Hi Joerg,
The reason for wanting to process <td> in a seperate match was that it
could
be used to define a style for <td> in one place, and one place only.
Whether
the <td> was in the xml or written by another match I wanted one place
where
it's attributes could be set generically, a bit like using xsl as a css.
I'm not that familar with extensions used in Michael Kay's approach. Am
I
right in thinking that to use node-set I need to install something like
Xalan.exe, and this will then pass a string back into a node set? How do
these extensions effect efficiency of the tranform? I've been told
xsl/xml
transforms are already fairly processor intensive compared to something
like
a pure asp solution, so am a bit reluctent to start complicating the
process
further with external calls. Dooes anyone know of or have any good bench
marks?
Cheers,
Mike
