using functions and element attributes inside an if statement

[abienz]

Hi there,

I've a problem with some XSL I'm writing, I'm wondering if there's an escape character in XSL or something that can solve this problem, here's what I've got for my XSL...

<xsl:when test="name(../*[position()=$pos * 2])='xf:select1'">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="../*[position()=$pos * 2]" mode="s1evens"/>
</xsl:when>

So I've got a couple of elements in my XML called 'xf:select1' they all have an attribute called appearance, this can be one of three values, one for example is 'full'.

the problem is I can't test for this in my if statement because I would be writing it like this (I think)...

<xsl:when test="name(../*[position()=$pos * 2])='xf:select1[@appearance='full']'">

Here you can see I've got (') inside ('), and there's already a (") around the pair of them.

Is there a way around this?

Cheers,

Alex.

Obviously, the attribute is not part of the name, you are trying to match a name and an x-path-expression.
You'll need something like:
<xsl:when test="../xf:select1[position()=$pos * 2]/@appearance='full">

Yep, I've found a work around using an 'AND'

Thanks!
