XSLT <xsl:fallback> Element


< Complete XSLT Element Reference

Definition and Usage

The <xsl:fallback> element specifies an alternate code to run if  the XSL processor does not support an XSL element.


Syntax

<xsl:fallback>

  <!-- Content: template -->

</xsl:fallback>

Attributes

None

Example 1

This example is supposed to loop through each "title" element with a made up <xsl:loop> element. If the XSL processor does not support this element (which it does not), it will use the <:xsl:for-each> element instead:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:template match="catalog/cd">
  <xsl:loop select="title">
    <xsl:fallback>
      <xsl:for-each select="title">
        <xsl:value-of select="."/>
      </xsl:for-each>
    </xsl:fallback>
  </xsl:loop>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
