Hi,
Thanks for your reply...As I've many subchapters,that causes me the problem...I tried in all possibilities and then only posted the question...
Actually,
<xsl:template match = "Main[.//Chapter[@Value = 'false']]" />
should work...
Will post once I get the answer...Thanks for your mail...

You need to match on Chapter, not on Main (you are asking to match Main
if it does not contain any Chapter descendants whose Value attribute is
'false' [I think; the expression is making my brain hurt]).

Try something like: match="Chapter[@Value='true']", and use it in
combination with templates that are applied to all Chapter elements.

The other strategy, if you want to control application of templates from
a single location, is something like:

     ...
     <xsl:apply-templates select="//Chapter[@value='true']"/>
     ...
     <xsl:template match="Chapter">
     </xsl:template>

Note that using '//' is better avoided if you care about performance.

Steve
