<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<h2>My CD Collection</h2>
<table border="1">
<tr bgcolor="#9acd32">
<th>Title</th>
<th>Artist</th>
</tr>
<xsl:for-each select="catalog/cd">
<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select="title"/></td>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="price>'10'">
<td bgcolor="#ff00ff">
<xsl:value-of select="artist"/></td>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<td><xsl:value-of select="artist"/></td>

the color attribute of the current element. If the current element has no
color attribute, the value of "color" will be "green":
<xsl:variable name="color">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="@color">
<xsl:value-of select="@color"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>green</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
