Hi Folks!

Is there a way of having two templates matching the same child?
I want to use a xsl:when on my xsl:apply-templates tag.

For example:

<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="[test expression here]">
<xsl:apply-templates select="Time_AM"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:apply-templates select="Time_AM"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>

Now, the two templates (Time_AM and Time_PM) are pointing to the same node "Time" where I have attributes that will be use to select from for the test...

Thanks,
Gabi.

You can add a 'mode' attribute to the templates with different values (say mode='AM' and mode='PM').
Then when you apply-template, use the correct mode to direct the processing to the desired template.

mphare!

Thanks a lot! I read up on this subject but I have hard time comprehending it. Can you please scribble a short coding xsl example?

The idea is to basically apply a different template depending if the "slot" attribute in my XML example below has "am" or "pm" in it:

<Time slot="9:00 am"/>
<Time slot="1:00 pm"/>


MANY THANKS AGAIN!
Gabi.

<xsl:apply-template select="Time" mode="AM"/>

or

<xsl:apply-template select="Time" mode="PM"/>

and the templates look like:

<xsl:template match="Time" mode="AM">
    ...
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="Time" mode="PM">
    ...
</xsl:template>
