Strange IF TEST behaviour for Less than or equal to XSL

[Lammers]

Strange if i have the following in an xsl file:
<xsl:if test= &quot;500 >= @numbID&quot;>
...
</xsl:if>

it works!

BUT reverse it:
<xsl:if test= &quot;@numbID <= 500&quot;>
...
</xsl:if>

the XML transformation fails!

Go figure.

 

[JJR]

The parser has trouble with the '<' and '>' operands, because they are also used by xml tags. To avoid any problems use html character codes when representing them.

codes:

'<' = & lt; 
'>' = & gt;

The space between the & and the l/g doesn't belong there, but else the code is converted by the browser in < and >
