Russ,

You are almost there.

First, you want xsl:apply-templates, not xsl:value-of. xsl:apply-templates will continue template matching through the tree. xsl:value-of will write the string value of the element, without processing children with templates.

Second, don't forget to do the usual xsl:copy thing for the elements you don't want to filter out.

Then, I suggest you might invert your logic for clarity.

Something like this?

<xsl:template match="*[@filter]"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="(contains(@filter, 'filter10')) or contains(@filter, 'filter1'))"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise/> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template>

This, of course, easily reduces to an xsl:if.

If that doesn't do it, maybe making a minimal test sample for demonstration would help.

Finally, I note that your test for your filter is brittle. @filter='filter11' will pass. (And 'filter10' will pass for two reasons.) The best fix to this depends on how you are using @filter.

Cheers,
Wendell

Hi Everyone,

I just can't get this today. (Maybe i need more sleep.)

I have the following, trying to follow Wendell'sadvice:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
   <xsl:template match="@*|node()">
     <xsl:copy>
       <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()" />
     </xsl:copy>
   </xsl:template>
   <xsl:template match="*[@filter]">
     <xsl:choose>
       <xsl:when test="(not(contains(@filter, 'filter10'))) and (not(contains(@filter, 'filter1')))">
       </xsl:when>
       <xsl:otherwise>
         <xsl:value-of select="." />
       </xsl:otherwise>
     </xsl:choose>
   </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

I want this to work kind of like a conditional text thing. When i run this i get NO elements with a filtered attribute.

Little more help for the slow kid? :)

thanks,
Russ
