Hi Hermann, > You did not specify which XSLT version > you are interested in. Ah, good point. How about version 3.0? Given that, what's the best solution? /Roger -----Original Message----- From: Hermann Stamm-Wilbrandt [mailto:STAMMW@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, August 02, 2013 10:52 AM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Data-driven XSLT code using dynamic mode values? You did not specify which XSLT version you are interested in. For XSLT 1.0 the <xsl:choose> solution you showed is the only solution.

"Use modes," you say. Okay, sounds good. So I will have multiple template rules: <xsl:template match="Header" mode="Remove"> <xsl:template match="Header" mode="Replace"> <xsl:template match="Header" mode="Reject"> Now let's turn to the problem of firing the appropriate template rule. I have a variable which has a value that indicates whether I should do a Remove, Replace, or Reject: <xsl:variable name="action" select="get the action from an XML file" /> I want to fire a template rule based on the value of $action. Here's what I really, really want to do: <xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="$action" /> That would be so cool. That would truly be "data-driven code." Unfortunately, using a variable as the value of @mode is not allowed. Bummer. Is my only solution to use xsl:choose: <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$action eq 'Remove'"> <xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="Remove" /> </xsl:when> <xsl:when test="$action eq 'Replace'"> <xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="Replace" /> </xsl:when> <xsl:when test="$action eq 'Reject'"> <xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="Reject" /> </xsl:when> </xsl:choose> That is an awful solution. It is brittle and not extensible code. Please, please show me a better way than using xsl:choose. /Roger
