The match="/" attribute matches the template to the ______ of the XML source document. If you have Netscape 6 or IE 5 or higher you can view: the XML file, the XSL file, and the resultthe XML filethe XSL filethe result

8 The Element The element selects the value of an XML element for displaying. The value of the required select attribute contains an _______ expression. For example, if, then If you have Netscape 6 or IE 5 or higher you can view the XML file and the XSL file, and the result.the XML filethe XSL filethe result

9 The Element The XSL element can be used to select every XML element of a specified ______ set. For example, if then you can write To ________ the output (also use !=, <, > operators). If you have Netscape 6 or IE 5 or higher you can view: the XML file and the XSL file, and the result.the XML filethe XSL filethe result

10 The Element The following code allows you to sort the output: If you have Netscape 6 or IE 5 or higher you can view: the XML file and the XSL file, and the result.the XML filethe XSL file the result

11 The Element A conditional if test: If you have Netscape 6 or IE 5 or higher you can view: the XML file and the XSL file, and the result.the XML filethe XSL filethe result

12 The Element For doing alternative processing, If you have Netscape 6 or IE 5 or higher you can view: the XML file and the XSL file, and the result.the XML filethe XSL filethe result
