xsl if condition
Thanks, Wendell.

Aside from trying to help others, I try to answer questions on the list so 
that folks who know more can pick apart my answers. That way, I learn more 
than I would by just solving my own problems in isolation and never trying 
to answer anyone's questions.

I do try to make sure my answers are correct, so that, even though I may 
not have the best solution, at least I'm not misleading anyone. To that 
end, I generally test my answers with Saxon. However, as you just 
demonstrated, I often don't come to the best solution. Over time, as I 
participate in the list and you and the other gurus critique my answers to 
people's questions, I'll get better at XSL.

So far, it's been working. Clearly, I have a ways to go, but I find myself 
using different constructs than I did a few months ago. 

Thanks again for the continuing education.

At 04:36 PM 3/9/2005, it was written:
>   <xsl:template match="customer">
>     <customer name="{@name}">
>       <xsl:choose>
>         <xsl:when test="@age">
>           <xsl:attribute name="age">
>             <xsl:value-of select="@age"/>
>           </xsl:attribute>
>         </xsl:when>
>         <xsl:otherwise>
>           <xsl:attribute name="age">unknown</xsl:attribute>
>         </xsl:otherwise>
>       </xsl:choose>
>     </customer>
>   </xsl:template>

This does the same as the more compact

<xsl:template match="customer">
     <customer name="{@name}" age="unknown">
       <xsl:copy-of select="@age"/>
     </customer>
</xsl:template>

(A "Carlisle default".)

Cheers,
Wendell
