XSLT <xsl:if> Element


The <xsl:if> element is used to put a conditional test against the content of the XML file.


The <xsl:if> Element

To put a conditional if test against the content of the XML file, add an <xsl:if> element to the XSL document.

Syntax

<xsl:if test="expression">
  ...some output if the expression is true...
</xsl:if>


Where to Put the <xsl:if> Element

To add a conditional test, add the <xsl:if> element inside the <xsl:for-each> element in the XSL file:

Example

<?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 &gt; 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>
