RE: How do I get the name of the current node

[Don Bruey <dbruey at CreativeSolutions dot com>]

<xsl:when test="name()='sprogit'">  

Consider approaching this a different way - instead of trying to figure out
as you go along which element you're dealing with, use apply-templates to do
the work (i.e. the "choose" part) for you.  Like this

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

<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates select="assembly/*" />
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="sprogit">
	<td> <xsl:value-of select="@sku"/> </td><td> 0 </td>
      <td> <xsl:value-of select="@colour"/></td><td> Hard </td>
</xsl:template>  

<xsl:template match="widget">
	<td> <xsl:value-of select="@sku"/> </td>
      <td><xsl:value-of select="@legs"/> </td><td> grey </td> <td> Hard
</td>
</xsl:template> 

<!-- more <xsl:template> here, one for "dofer", etc. -->

</xsl:stylesheet>
