Mike, thanks.
That was it. Stuck in a stupid mistake like this for some time. I never thought I have inverted the attribute and the tag name. LOL

Can't see a problem with your code, other than the inversion of "test" and
"if". Perhaps it's a namespace issue.

However, <xsl:if test="parent::some-tag"> is better.

Subject: [xsl] How to test the parent name

I am trying to test the name of the parent.

<xsl:test if="name(parent::*)='some-tag'">direct descendant</xsl:test>

If I do this:
<xsl:value-of select="name(parent::*)" /> Then I get the name of the parent output correctly, but when putting it in a test element, it does not.
Why ? What do I do to perform the test ?
