1. Your XML is not well-formed, look at:
<publisher>Oreilly</publisher
2. Commenting out the last xsl:if does not make any difference when I
test with SAXON 9B.
3. The contains() function is for testing a string. But your xml
element contains mixed content that is both other elements and text
nodes.
It is not a good idea to mark up data as mixed content.
This is much better:
<book>
<name>XSLT 2.0: From Beginning to Professional</book>
<topic>XML</topic>
<publisher>Wiley</publisher>
</book>

Dear all:
For those of you who may know something about SQL or XQuery might
be able to help me out.
XML:
<bookshelf>
<book>XSLT 2.0: From Beginning to Professional
<topic>XML</topic>
<publisher>Wiley</publisher></book>
<book>XML in a Nutshell
<publisher>Oreilly</publisher</book>
<book>XSLT 2.0: Programmer's Reference
<topic>XML</topic>
<publisher>Wrox</publisher>
</book>
</bookshelf>
XSLT:
<xsl:template match="bookshelf">
<xsl:if test="contains(//book/*, 'XML')">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="contains(//topic/*, 'XML')">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
What happened is really weird. If I had commented out the 2nd <xsl:if>
statement, it brings back one line without error. When I got to the 2nd
one, it tells me this error: Description: A sequence of more than one
item is not allowed as the first argument of contains() ("", "", ...)
My document is obviously well-formed, can anyone please give me some
suggestions on how to get rid of this error?
Thanks to those who can help.
