Can't change variables so how do I work around it.

[Jason Lehman]

I want to depending on a parameter in the XML change wether the div should
display or not. Do I have to repeat the whole block in two if containers
with the style display:none and one with display:block but then whenever I
have to make a change to the block I have to update in two places? Any help
would be appreciated.

My example:

<xsl:if test="RequirementGroup/@ReqMet = &quot;Y&quot;">

<div style="display:none;margin-left:1em;" id="Area_Info{$intArea_Info}">

<xsl:if test="string-length(Code) &gt; 0">

<br />Code:<xsl:for-each select="Code">

<xsl:apply-templates />

</xsl:for-each>

</xsl:if>

<br />

<span style="background-color:#336633; color:#FFFFFF; width:100%;
">Requirement Group:</span>

<xsl:apply-templates select="RequirementGroup" />

<br />Course Group:<xsl:apply-templates select="CourseGroup" />

<xsl:if test="string-length(Review) &gt; 0">

<br />Review: <xsl:apply-templates select="Review" />

</xsl:if>

<br />Summary: <xsl:apply-templates select="Summary" />

<br />

</div>

</xsl:if>

<xsl:if test="RequirementGroup/@ReqMet = &quot;N&quot;">

<div style="display:block;margin-left:1em;" id="Area_Info{$intArea_Info}">

<xsl:if test="string-length(Code) &gt; 0">

<br />Code:<xsl:for-each select="Code">

<xsl:apply-templates />

</xsl:for-each>

</xsl:if>

<br />

<span style="background-color:#336633; color:#FFFFFF; width:100%;
">Requirement Group:</span>

<xsl:apply-templates select="RequirementGroup" />

<br />Course Group:<xsl:apply-templates select="CourseGroup" />

<xsl:if test="string-length(Review) &gt; 0">

<br />Review: <xsl:apply-templates select="Review" />

</xsl:if>

<br />Summary: <xsl:apply-templates select="Summary" />

<br />

</div>

</xsl:if>

Your question isn't very clear, however the answer to

Is probably no.

If you only want to make the attriibute depend on the parameter just
place the conditional at that point.

<div id="Area_Info{$intArea_Info}">
<xsl:attribute name="style">
<xsl:text>display:</xsl:text>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="something">none</xsl:when>
<xsltherwise>block</xsltherwise>
</xsl:choose>
<xsl:text>;margin-left:1em;</xsl:text>
</xsl:attribute>
....



<xsl:if test="string-length(Code) &gt; 0">
incidentally, probably better to do
<xsl:if test="string(Code)">
(which is equivalent)
or
<xsl:if test="Code">
which isn't equivalent (it's true even if the first code is empty, unlike the first two)

I tried your example but it is not working for me. My test that I have in
my original example doesn't work in your example even though it is in the
same template block.

My Code:
<xsl:template match="Area">

<xsl:if test="RequirementGroup/@ReqMet = &quot;Y&quot;">

<span style="color:#FFCC00; font-size:15px; " id="Requirement_Met">

<div id="Area_Info_plus{$intArea_Info}"
style="width=1em;display:inline;">+</div><div
id="Area_Info_minus{$intArea_Info}" style="width=1em;display:none;">-</div>
Yes</span>

</xsl:if>

</xsl:template>

But if I put the test above in your code it doesn't change the attribute.

Ignore this I realize my error now. I had my statements backwards and now
it is working correctly.
