The <xsl:fallback> Element

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="ISO-8859-1"?>
<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>
