xsl problem with test expression

12-08-2004

I've written a small xsl file,

but it is not working, it doesn't do the xsl:when test,

what is wrong with it?

The xsl-file:

********

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><xsl:stylesheet
version="1.0"

sl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"><xsl:template
match="Faculty/select"><html><body>

<xsl:for-each select="group">

<xsl:variable name="type">

<xsl:value-of select="team_type" />

</xsl:variable><xsl:choose>

<xsl:when test="$type='V'">

<xsl:value-of select="name_dutch"/>

<xsl:value-of select="team_code"/>)<br/>

</xsl:when> </xsl:choose></xsl:for-each>
</body></html></xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet>

the xml-file-extraction

*****************

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<Faculty><select><group>

<team_code>DWIS</team_code>

<name_dutch>Wiskunde</name_dutch>

<team_type>V</team_type>

</group></select></Faculty>

Hi,

> version="1.0"

sl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"><xsl:template
--------------/
there's a syntax error here, after correction I could not see any errors related to 'xsl:when'

> match="Faculty/select"><html><body>
><xsl:for-each select="group">
><xsl:variable name="type">
><xsl:value-of select="team_type" />
></xsl:variable><xsl:choose>
><xsl:when test="$type='V'">
><xsl:value-of select="name_dutch"/>
><xsl:value-of select="team_code"/>)<br/>
></xsl:when> </xsl:choose></xsl:for-each>
> </body></html></xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet>

btw, is it really necessary to use a variable and a 'xsl:choose'?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns

sl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:template match="Faculty/select">
<html><body>
<xsl:apply-templates select="group"/>
</body></html>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="group[team_type='V']">
<xsl:value-of select="name_dutch"/>
<xsl:value-of select="team_code"/>)<br/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="group"/>

</xsl:stylesheet>

If the above is only a sample, it is most likely that whitespaces are spoiling the fun in the real XML.
Try using <xsl:when test="normalize-space($type)='V'"/>
