Hello Alia
The simple answer is either to replace
"contains(child::text(),'Euro')"
with
"contains(.,'Euro')"
or to use <xsl:strip-space> to remove whitespace nodes.
The whole node evaluated in string context will be all its
text nodes put together. You can see this if you were to try this:
<xsl:for-each select="child::text()">
<child><xsl:value-of select="."/></child>
</xsl:for-each>
<total><xsl:value-of select="."/></total>
The reason your original test worked sometimes is that in those
cases the first text node was the text you wanted, not whitespace;
whereas in this case there's a text node containing just whitespace -
a linefeed in fact - and being the first node, it's the one that's
evaluated by "child::text()".

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
