Definitions and usages
The element specifies the alternative code that runs when the XSL processor does not support the XSL element.
Grammar
<!-- Content: template -->
</xsl:fallback>
Property
No
Instance 1
This example would have been intended to loop through each "title" element using a fictitious .lt;xsl:loop.gt; element. If the XSL processor does not support the element (which it does), it will replace it with the element of slt;:xsl:for-each.
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="catalog/cd">
<xsl:loop select="title">
<xsl:fallback>
<xsl:for-each select="title">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:fallback>
</xsl:loop>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Tip: The XSLT and lt;xsl:fallback elements do their function by calling the template content, which provides a reasonable replacement for the behavior of the new element.
