Thanks Charles. I'll make this change. I am a bit tired and I did this
as well as != instead of = . It's going to be a slow night. From
xsltproc I am getting an XPath error at the first { in the expression
which is the first hitch - so
not even getting to evaluate the expression.
XPath error Invalid expression
substring({(_at_)url}, -5, 5)='.html'

Look again carefully. The period before the file extension isn't being
counted in the length of the substring you are testing. You will have
to change "substring({(_at_)url}, -4, 4)" to substring({(_at_)url}, -5, 5)" if
you want to test it against ".html".

Subject: [xsl] Evaluating last 3 or 4 characters of URL?
I am trying to evaluate the last 3 or 4 characters of a URL
so that I can add javascript in the href attribute.
It is not liking the {(_at_)url}(_dot_) Is this not just the string value
of the url attribute? Help on the syntax appreciated.
