Not sure what <chap> is but you need to close it. Right now you have an
invalid xml file. if you close it like so...
<root>
<book>
<contents isvisible="true">
<chap>
</chap>
</contents>
</book>
</root>
and then run it through your xsl...
<xsl:template match="book">
<xsl:variable name="contentsVar" select="contents"/>
<xsl:if test="$contentsVar/@isvisible = 'true'">
do something...
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
you get...
'do something...' as your output...
Best of luck!

Subject: [xsl] xsl variable - issue
Hello,
Please take a look at the XML and XSL files. I have
variable called contentsVar which contains a node set.
For some reason, the 'if' statement is failing though
the XML says isvisible = true. Not sure what I am
doing wrong.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
XML:
<root>
<book>
<contents isvisible="true">
<chap>
<chap>
</contents>
</book>
</root>
XSL:
<xsl:template match="book">
<xsl:variable name="contentsVar" select="contents"/>
<xsl:if test="$contentsVar/@isvisible = 'true'">
do something...
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
