I can't see how $xsrc can have more than one node:
<xsl:variable name="xsrc" as="xs:string">
<xsl:value-of select="@src" />
</xsl:variable>
Then follows the variable declaration in my original email, below.
The actual XML element on which the template is choking is this one:
<icon src="../../abc/images/def/icon_arrow.gif" dpi="96"/>
Checking my logs, I have found that the error only occurs for a few
instances of <icon>; most are converted without problems, e.g.
<icon src="images/edf/features/pivot.gif" dpi="96"/>
In fact, it looks like it is the "../../" prefix which may be the problem -
but the src values which include this are valid and correct.
Does this extra information change the advice at all?
Cheers
Trevor

You defined the variable as a single string instance.
If $xsrc has more than one node and the xsl:otherwise instruction kicks in
then this is an error.
Perhaps change to:
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$xsrc[1]" />
</xsl:otherwise>

The following variable definition is giving me the error
"XTTE0570: A sequence of more than one item is not allowed as the value of
variable normsrc"
I'm using Saxon 8.6.1 on Windows XP.
====
<xsl:variable name="normsrc" as="xs:string">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains($xsrc,'/images/images/')">
<xsl:text>images/</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="substring-after($xsrc,'/images/images/')" />
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="contains($xsrc,'/images/')">
<xsl:text>images/</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="substring-after($xsrc,'/images/')" />
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$xsrc" />
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>
====
If I drop the as="xs:string" attribute it works perfectly, but I'm sure
I've
got exactly this construction elsewhere without complaint. One difference
with this logic is that the 'when' tests overlap: any $xsrc that matches
the
first 'when' will also match the second, but I understood that 'choose'
will
only make one choice. Am I confused?
