Hi. I am using XMLSPY (with Microsoft parser) to edit an existing
stylesheet (XSL) that references several XMLs.
Essentially, I have a 'parent' element with sub-elements. I want to query a
particular sub-element (which is a text string). As long as the text string
BEGINS with a certain word, I would like for the parent element to be
selected.
For example, the following code will select the parent element "attrlabl"
when its sub-element "attrdef" has a value of "Navy."
<xsl:when test="attrdef[. = Navy]">
<xsl:value-of select="attrlabl"/>
This is similar to what I need - except the sub-element "attrdef" can have
any number of words following "Navy." I have tried including wildcard
symbols, and a number of other commands that do not seem to agree with the
preexisting code.
For right or wrong, I am a novice, I have tried xsl:key, starts-with(),
context() . . . all to no avail.
Is it even possible to do this in XSL?
Thanks,
Carrie
