XSLT: How to use xsl:sort and xsl:choose simultaneously

[vinodxx]

Hello friends,

I have a newbie question.

How to use xsl:sort and xsl:choose simultaneously on a single stylesheet.

<xsl:for-each select = "CATALOG/CD">
<xsl:sort select = "TITLE" />
<xsl:choose>


<xsl:when test="PRICE &gt; 10">


<tr bgcolor = "#ececec">

<td ><xsl:value-of select="TITLE" /></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="ARTIST" /></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="COUNTRY" /></td>
</tr>

</xsl:when>

<xsl:otherwise>

<tr bgcolor = "#ababab">

<td ><xsl:value-of select="TITLE" /></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="ARTIST" /></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="COUNTRY" /></td>
</tr>

</xsl:otherwise>

</xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each>


The above code will not work in Firefox.
The error returned was
Error loading stylesheet: Parsing an XSLT stylesheet failed.

Please give your advice.

Well it is hard to determine without seeing your full XSLT and your input XML. Other than that the code looks ok except it is a bit verbose. You should be using something like this:


<tr>
<xsl:attribute name="bgcolor">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="PRICE &gt; 10">#ececec</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>#ababab</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:attribute>
<td ><xsl:value-of select="TITLE" /></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="ARTIST" /></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="COUNTRY" /></td>
</tr>

Here is the XML file.

We still need your full xsl, as that seems to be where the problem is (according to the error message)
Also, "CATALOG/CD"
will match nothing, as xml is case sensitive. Similarly for all your value-of elements.
