RE: XSL Filtering Question

[Grant, Kathryn]

I have an XSL document that filters an XML document, 
selecting all <coderec> items with a country attribute equal 
to "Canada":

      <xsl:for-each select="//statecodes/coderec[(_at_)country='canada']">

I'd like to do a variation on this, filtering for all 
<coderec> items which contain the word "Canada" anyplace 
between <coderec> and </coderec>. (<coderec></coderec> has no 
children; it only contains text.) 



contains(//statecodes/coderec,"Canada")

You might want to see if you can avoid the for-each (see my reply to
Alan Gardner's question with the subject " Xpath and for-each looping")
and  the "//"  in the interest of efficiency, but if your files are
small or run fast enough, the "//" probably is OK to leave as is.

Cheers,

Tom P
