We have created code that searches for a file extension and outputs it
approriately according to that file extension
1) What we do, is create a variable,
2) In this case called "fileExtension"
3) We then take the value of the @url, find all characters after the ".",
this will give you the file extension.
<xsl:variable name="fileExtension"
select="substring-after(string(@url),'.')" />
4) You can then use a number of tests on that variable
Hope this helps: Hemi Kara

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.

<xsl:attribute name="id">
<xsl:value-of select="@id"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:attribute name="href">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="substring({(_at_)url}, -4, 4)!='.html'">
javascript: do_windowopen('
<xsl:value-of select="@url"/>
')
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="substring({(_at_)url}, -3, 3)!='.htm'">
javascript: do_windowopen('
<xsl:value-of select="@url"/>
')
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="@url"/>
