RE: [contains] wierd error with contains function

The problem is not with the contains function but with your use of the variable.

You use

<xsl:variable name="watchFor" select="xsl,list"/>

you should use

<xsl:variable name="watchFor">xsl,list<xsl:variable/>

There is no reason, that contains() does not work with commas. Such an 
error never occured to me while really often using Xalan and Xerces.
