Hello,
This is my xslt code: The problem is the parser expects me to close the <tr> tag after xsl:when. I want to change the attributes of the
row depending on whether the output is excel or html.
Hiw do I get around this?

            <xsl:choose>
                <xsl:when test="$ExcelOutput='Excel'">
                            <tr xsl:use-attribute-sets="RowStyle" onmousedown="MyRowHighlight()" onmouseover="MyRowHoverOn()" onmouseout="MyRowHoverOff()" >
                </xsl:when>
                <xsl:otherwise>
                            <tr xsl:use-attribute-sets="RowExcelStyle" >
                </xsl:otherwise>
            </xsl:choose>

                <td style="WIDTH:4%;" > <xsl:value-of select="bs_group" /> </td>
                <td style="WIDTH:10%"> <xsl:value-of <td style="WIDTH:12%;"> <xsl:value-of <td style="WIDTH:5%;"> <xsl:value-of select="cust_type" /> </td>
        </tr>

You could use a variable to store the information and then call it when you need it. You only have to generate it once, not every time you need a row.

Eg.
<xsl:variable name="trowformat">
  <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="$ExcelOutput='Excel'">
      <tr xsl:use-attribute-sets="RowStyle" onmousedown="MyRowHighlight()" onmouseover="MyRowHoverOn()" onmouseout="MyRowHoverOff()" >
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise>
      <tr xsl:use-attribute-sets="RowExcelStyle" >
    </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>


<tr>
<xsl:copy-of select="$trowformat/@*">

(your td's in here...)

</tr>


I think that should work.

I don't think you can do what you want whilst still using named attribute sets. Without them you would have:
To cope with the use-atribute-sets you could have a named template that just adds thesee in and call it from within the choose statement.
