XSL:IF

[Robinson Simon <Si...@newton.co.uk>]

I am trying to test the content of the Subject_Area element to see if it
contains the value 'Securities'. The idea being to pass in the name of an
Oracle entity and then show all the attributes for that entity. The line
concerned is

<xsl:if test="Subject_Area='Securities'"> ** The element does contain the
value concerned but is not generating the rest of the output as I would
expect. The portion of the XML I am testing is below.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Simon

["Frank E. Weiss" <fr...@well.com>]

When you write <xsl:if test="Subject_Area='Securities'"> that is really a shorthand for <xsl:if
test="child::Subject_Area='Securities'">. Since this occurs in the template that matches the element Subject_Area, it is
looking for child nodes thereof. You probably need to write <xsl:if test="string(.)='Securities'"> or better yet <xsl:if
test="normalize-space(.)='Securities'">.
