3. Click OK.

The following code is inserted in your XSLT page:

<xsl:if test="@available='true'">

Content goes here

</xsl:if>

Note: You must surround string values such as true in quotes. Dreamweaver encodes the quotes for you (') so that

they are entered as valid XHTML.

In addition to testing nodes for values, you can use any of the supported XSLT functions in any conditional statement. The

condition is tested for the current node within your XML file. In the following example, you want to test for the last node in the

result set:

For more information and examples on writing conditional expressions, see the <xsl:if> section in the Reference panel (Help >

Reference).

Apply multiple conditional XSLT regions

You can write a simple conditional expression to insert into your XSLT page. If content is selected when you open the Conditional Region dialog

box, the content is wrapped in an <xsl:choose> block. If you do not select content, the <xsl:choose> block is added at the insertion point on the

page. It’s a good idea to use the dialog box to get started and then customize the expression in Code view.

The <xsl:choose> element is similar to the case statement in other languages. The element provides a way for you to test a condition and take a

course of action based on the result. The <xsl:choose> element allows you to test for multiple conditions.

1. Select Insert > XSLT Objects > Multiple Conditional Region or click the Multiple Conditional Region icon in the XLST category

of the Insert panel.

2. In the Multiple Conditional Region dialog box, enter the first condition.

In the following example, you want to test to see if the context node’s price subelement is less than 5.

3. Click OK.

In the example, the following code is inserted in your XSLT page:

<xsl:choose>

<xsl:when test="price<5">
