The <xsl:if> element is used to put a conditional test against the content of the XML file.
To put a conditional if test against the content of the XML file, add an <xsl:if> element to the XSL document.
<xsl:if test="expression"> ... ...some output if the expression is true... ... </xsl:if> |
To add a conditional test, add the <xsl:if> element inside the <xsl:for-each> element in the XSL file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:template match="/"> <html> <body> <h2>My CD Collection</h2> <table border="1"> <tr bgcolor="#9acd32"> <th>Title</th> <th>Artist</th> </tr> <xsl:for-each select="catalog/cd"> <xsl:if test="price > 10"> <tr> <td><xsl:value-of select="title"/></td> <td><xsl:value-of select="artist"/></td> </tr> </xsl:if> </xsl:for-each> </table> </body> </html> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> |
Note: The value of the required test attribute contains the expression to be evaluated.
The code above will only output the title and artist elements of the CDs that
has a price that is higher than 10.
The result of the transformation above will look like this:
Title | Artist |
---|---|
Empire Burlesque | Bob Dylan |
Still got the blues | Gary Moore |
One night only | Bee Gees |
Romanza | Andrea Bocelli |
Black Angel | Savage Rose |
1999 Grammy Nominees | Many |
