Re: Comparing of attribute and CDATA value

   Hi,

   i tried to compare one CDATA value with an attribute, but i doesn't work.


XPath does not record CDATA sections they are just part of the XML
syntax lost during parsing, teh same as whetjer" or ' is used around
attribute values.

   Does anybody know something about it?

   Best regards
   Sven


   xsl:
   -------------------
   <xsl:if test="value = @id">


That tests id the value element child of teh current node has string
value equal to the id attribute of the current node.


   ...

   xml:
   -------------------
   <parameter>
         <value><![CDATA[1]]></value>
   </parameter>

   <itable id="1">
   ..
   </itable>


In that sample xml there is no node with both an id attribute and a
value child. if the current node is parameter then perhaps you want


 test="value = ../itable/@id">

Note that 
 <value><![CDATA[1]]></value>

is just a long way of writing

 <value>1</value>
