The function contains() is defined in the XSLT language. The default
processor in IE5 only handles the WD-xsl language, which is a Microsoft
implementation of an early 1998 working draft of XSLT. To use XSLT
functionality, you will need to install MSXML3. See the MSXML FAQ at

Subject: [xsl] Conditional branching on string attribute in IE5?
Hi,
This is for IE5. For an XML file like:
<xml>
<info path="abc.txt">
<info path="abc.jpg">
</xml>
I want to check the value of xml/info/path,
and if it contains a .jpg or .gif extension,
generate an img node, else generate an
href node.
I tried the following:
..
<xsl:for-each select="xml/info">
<xsl-if test="contains(@path,'.jpg')">
<xsl-element name="a">
..
and got an error, "Unknown method contains(@".
What is the right way to do this for IE5?
Upgrade to IE6 is not an option :-(
This is urgent, and I am stuck at this.
Please help out a new XSL enthusiast! :)
Thanks,
