Your test

<xsl:if test="contains(child::text(),'Euro')">

is testing whether the first child::text() node contains the string
'Euro'. In your case the string is in the second child text node (the
first one contains whitespace only).

Instead, test whether the string value of the element contains 'Euro':

<xsl:if test="contains(.,'Euro')">

Subject: [xsl] contains()


Hello,
I hope u can help me with this. I have this part of an xml file:
     ...
     <tr class="dynamic_row1">
        <td width="160px">
        <img border="0" src="mypictures/flags/euro.gif" width="21"
        height="13" />
         Euro</td>
        <td width="50px" class="dynamic_right">1.018</td>
        <td width="50px" class="dynamic_right">1.018</td>
        <td width="50px" class="dynamic_right">08:10</td>
        <td width="90px" class="dynamic_center">09 SEP 2002</td>
      </tr>
      ...

And I wanna get the sibling value of the row containing 
'Euro'. But the 
xsl template is not working as if it can't find 'Euro'. 
...
<xsl:template match="body/center/table/tr/td">
  <xsl:if test="contains(child::text(),'Euro')">
      <b> Bid value is :  </b> 
      <xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(following-sibling::td
[position() = 1])"/><br/><br/>
      <b> Ask value is :  </b> 
      <xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(following-sibling::td
[position() = 2])"/><br/><br/>
  </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
...

It works if instead of 'Euro' I searched for '1.018' for exp. or any 
other row value. I think the problem is the space before the 
word 'Euro'. 
I used 'normalize-space' but didnt work either. How can I fix 
it? Thx a lot
