Hi All,

I am trying to evaluate a scenario where in i have to check for equality of 2 test conditions & only then proceed.

Here is what I have in my xsl file

<xsl:if test="item_name !='Geography' and
($obj_id != '4' or $obj_id !='6')">

Now the condition I want to implement is when item_name is not Geography AND obj_id is not (4 or 6) then proceed with the body of if condition.
In other words if teh item_name is Geography and obj_id is either 4 or 6 then also the if condition executes.

The behaviour i am getting is it straight away ignores all item_names where item_nam =Geography.

I want both the conditions to satisfy hence used the AND operator.

Do let me know your suggestions

Thanks

The phrase ($obj_id != '4' or $obj_id !='6') will always
evaluate to true.

If $obj_id is '4', then it is != '6', so it is true by the
second half. If $obj_id is '6', then it is != '4', so it
is true by the first half. If it is neither '4' nor '6',
then it is true by both halves.

Try ($obj_id != '4' and $obj_id !='6') instead. When you
invert logic, watch for the and/or inversion also.
