Re: multiple or statements in xsl:when

Sorry, but i'm a little confused (dammed boolean algebra) ;)
What i want is: to run the code if:
a) the name of the tag is void AND
b) there is an attribute "property" which is not empty AND
c) the value of this attribute is either 'container' OR ' assetscontainer' OR and so on

for example run the code for this line of xml:
<void property="container"> and also for this line
<void property="assetscontainer">

but for example not for this line:
<void property="string">

Any ideas why my code doesn't work?

Because your logic is flawed.

if @property != 'value' is false, then @property must equal "value", and therefore @property != 'variable' will be true. So at least one of these
terms will be true, therefore the whole condition will be true.
