Re: xsl:variable and node list

Hi Anton,

Also, if you can be sure there are no other attributes that might
contain $address, you can do this:

<xsl:variable name="withaddress"
select="tblMIMCompanies[contains(translate(@*,$upperCase,$lowerCase),
                                 
translate($address,$upperCase,$lowerCase))]"/>

(that would include all elements where *any* attribute contains $address)

This is a gotcha. "translate(@*, $upperCase, $loweCase)" would only
test one attribute (the first in document order, which is
implementation-dependent for attributes). The translate() function
expects a string as its first argument; if you pass it a node-set then
it takes the string value of the first node from that node set.

What you mean is:

  tblMIMCompanies[(_at_)*[contains(translate(., $upperCase, $lowerCase),
                              translate($address, $upperCase, $lowerCase))]]

Cheers,

Jeni
