xsl if options
This is my template. I'm trying to generate input tags
based on the type read from the xml file.

Thanks

<xsl:template match="csd">
  <xsl:for-each select="sd[count(. | key('specs_key',
@Name)[1])=1]">
  <xsl:if test="@Type = 'DropDown'"> 
    <select name="Name">
     <option value="-">--Select Name--</option>
  </xsl:if> 
  <xsl:for-each select="key('specs_key', @Name)">
    <xsl:choose>
	<xsl:when test="@Type = 'DropDown'"> 
	  <xsl:element name="option">
	    <xsl:attribute name="value"><xsl:value-of
select="@Val"/></xsl:attribute>
	    <xsl:value-of select="@Val"/>
  	 </xsl:element>
	</xsl:when>
	<xsl:when test="@Type = 'CheckBox'"> 
	   <xsl:element name="input">
	<xsl:attribute name="type">checkbox</xsl:attribute>
	<xsl:attribute name="id"><xsl:value-of
select="@DetailId"/></xsl:attribute>
	</xsl:element>
	</xsl:when>
	<xsl:when test="@Type = 'Radio'"> 
	<xsl:element name="input">
	<xsl:attribute name="type">radio</xsl:attribute>
	<xsl:attribute name="id"><xsl:value-of
select="@DetailId"/></xsl:attribute>
	<xsl:value-of select="@Val"/>&#160;
	</xsl:element>
	</xsl:when>
	<xsl:when test="@Type = 'Free Form Text'"> 
	<xsl:value-of select="@Val"/>
	</xsl:when>
      </xsl:choose>
   </xsl:for-each>
   <xsl:if test="@Type = 'DropDown'"> 
     </select>
   </xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
