(Simple!) XPath Text Comparison 1

[woogoo]

Hi, I'm scratching my head over this (I assume trivial) task. I want to skip outputing a table within my HTML transformation, when a given elements value is "no" (well ideally ignoring case).

I've tried several variations from <xsl:if test="ELF = 'Yes'"> to using fn:match(..., ...) but some either bomb out on validation or nothing changes when the flag's value changes.

Any help would be apprciated.

So you might accept xslt 2.0..., but, you can use simply xslt 1.0 built-in function to get this done. The logic goes like this.
[tt]
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="translate(ELF,'YES','yes')='yes'">
<xsl:call-template name="output_table" />
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="translate(ELF,"NO",'no')='no'">
<xsl:call-template name="output_without_table" />
</xsl:when>
<xsltherwise>
<!-- decide what you want -->
</xsltherwise>
</xsl:choose>
[/tt]
It assumes at least two named templates "output_table" and "output_without_table" where you put all the desired processing script.
