New subject: Can I use call-templates when nested in multiple choose when when ?

10 Mar 2012

      Hi Everyone,

I have the following template

    <xsl:template name ="createBody" match="html:html/html:body">
... some stuff...
...
                <xsl:choose>
                    <xsl:when test="path/to/particular/html/element/attribute">
                        <xsl:when test="path/to/another/html/element/attribute">
                            <xsl:call-template name="createStandardHead"/>
                        </xsl:when>
                    </xsl:when>
                    <xsl:otherwise>
                    do some stuff
                   </xsl:otherwise>

Let me explain a bit,

I wish to call the createStandardHeader template if the XHTML looks like this

<body>
        <div id="content">
                <div id="page1" class="page css-gen1">
                <div id="Layer1">6.1
                </div>
                        <div style="width:205pt;height:12pt;left:34pt;top:33pt">
                                <div style="top:9pt">
                                        <span class="css-gen2">
                                                <span>Part 1</span>
                                        </span>
                                </div>
                        </div>
                        <div style="width:56pt;height:76pt;left:63pt;top:81pt">
                                <a name="energ61" id="energ61"></a>
                                <div style="left:5pt;top:10pt">
                                        <span class="css-gen3">
                                                <span class="css-gen4">standard</span>
                                        </span>
                                </div>
                                <div style="top:51pt">
                                        <span class="css-gen5">
                                                <span class="css-gen4">mandatory</span>
                                        </span>
                                </div>
                        </div>

e.g if
html:html/html:body/html:div/html:div/html:div[2]/html:div[1]/html:span[@class='css-gen3']
and
html:html/html:body/html:div/html:div/html:div[2]/html:div[2]/html:span[@class='css-gen5']

then call-template createStandardHead, which will process the text() values for these elements accordingly.

My question is, is this possible? I've tried altering, changing it quite a bit and can quite seem to crack it. One final thing, REGARDLESS of whether the createStandardHeader template is called or not it is imperative that I process the stuff in <xsl:otherwise> e.g after I perform the check for the above XHTML structure.

Thanks in advance for any help. Have a great weekend.

Kind Regards
