Thanks for the fast reply! But deep-equal is not an XSLT 1.0 function.
The script will be processed by a browser (Firefox), and so I have to
remain within XSLT 1.0.

Try the deep-equal function...

Subject: [xsl] compare two nodes (the child elements, not the string values) in
XSLT 1.0
Hello,
I have a seemingly simple xslt problem to which I cannot find the
solution. I want to test whether the context node, which is an <author>
element with the form (first?, middle?, last), is equal to one of a set
of <person> elements. By "equal" I mean having the same child elements
and values of these elements. At first, I thought it would be as easy as
test="path/person = ."
But then I realized that the "=" operator compares the string values of
the nodes, such that
<author>
<first>John</first>
<last>Doe</last>
</author>
and
<person>
<last>JohnDoe<last>
</person>
will be evaluated as equal, which I want to avoid. So how can I check,
in XSLT 1.0, whether two nodes are equal in the sense I intend?
Thank you for your help!
