RE: Identify node with variable and replace its value / mode problem

Andreas,
You have some <xsl:apply-templates> statements that are
located outside of any template. This is not a valid XSL
stylesheet. If the stylesheet is being executed anyway,
I suspect those <xsl:apply-templates> statements are being ignored.
(That would be consistent with your comments about what each
version does.)
You would probably benefit from reading a tutorial about
the stylesheet processing model -- how and when the
processor applies templates.

As for your current task, if I understand what it is
you want to do, here's an approach:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="1.0">
    <xsl:param name="id" select="'1'" />
    
    <!-- identity transform -->
    <xsl:template match="@*|node()">
        <xsl:copy>
            <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()" />
        </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:template>
    
    <!-- process certain <title> elements specially -->
    <xsl:template match="/newspage/news/title">
        <xsl:choose>
            <xsl:when test="parent::news/@id = $id">
                process specially...
            </xsl:when>
            <xsl:otherwise>
                <xsl:copy>
                    <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()" />
                </xsl:copy>
            </xsl:otherwise>
        </xsl:choose>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


Hi there,

I want to replace certain node values in elements that are 
identified by 
an id passed as an parameter. I know I can not use a variable in a 
match, so I try to use apply-templates with select and mode.
The pattern seems to be ok, the first example is doing well 
except I can 
not pass a variable.
Using an apply-templates replaces ALL titles - and using 
apply-templates 
with a mode just copies the file...
Any ideas? Your help is appreciated.

This is working, but I can't pass the parameter:

<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
 <xsl:copy>
   <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()" />
 </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>


<xsl:template match="/newspage/news[(_at_)id='1']/title">
<title>replace title</title>
</xsl:template>


This is supposed to work, but it replaces ALL titles...

<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
 <xsl:copy>
   <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()" />
 </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>


<xsl:apply-templates select="/newspage/news[(_at_)id='1']/title"/>

<xsl:template match="title">
<title>replace title</title>
</xsl:template>


Just copies file:

<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
 <xsl:copy>
   <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()" />
 </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>


<xsl:apply-templates select="/newspage/news[(_at_)id='1']/title" 
mode="replace" />

<xsl:template match="title" mode="replace">
<title>replace title</title>
</xsl:template>

P.S. Sorry, made a mistake when posting this message last 
night to an other thread.
