RE: xsl:if and xsl:when

Thanks Dave!

I realize that the // will match any illust with obj.id attribute with value
1.  
The problem is that I only have one illust element which has the obj.id
attribute
at all.  So is it not recognizing the attribute? Is my syntax wrong?

Just this morning came accross another type of format from the article by 
Didier Martin Style Matters
http://www.xml.com/pub/2000/02/16/style/index.html 


He has the following example

<xsl:choose>
	<xsl:when test="contains(@xlink:show,'embed')">
	<xsl:choose>
		<xsl:when test="contains(@xstyle:type,'image/svg')">
		<embed type="image/svg">
		(Whole bunch of code ommited)
		</xsl:when>
		
		<xsl:when test="contains(@xstyle:type,'text/xhtm')">
		<xsl:apply-templates
	
select="document(@xlink:href)/html:html/html:body/*">
		(Whole bunch of code ommited)
		</xsl:when>

	</xsl:choose>
 	</xsl:when>

  	<xsl:otherwise>
   	<!-- We include an error message in the output document
       if the intended behavior is not to embed the content -->
   	<p>Error: the &lt;xstyle:component&gt; elements only 
      support the xlink:show attribute set to the value "embed".</p>
  	</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>


but it still has not changed. I am using the saxon parser to convert to HTML
and 
maybe its does not support advance syntax under test.  Or maybe its the
operator
(me) that has it wrong.  OH! by the way Dave, I also tried without the //
and 
nothing. It either suppresses all of the graphics or none.  Thanks for your
help

This is my code
<xsl:template match="image">
			<xsl:choose>
				<xsl:when test="contains
(@obj.id,'../packet/illust')">
				</xsl:when>
				<xsl:otherwise>
			<SPAN style="
				 font-size: 10pt;
				 font-style: normal;
				 font-weight: bold;
				 vertical-align: center;
				 margin-right: 3pc;
				 width: 300;
				 height: 100">
			<p>
			<IMG >
			<xsl:attribute name="SRC" >
			<xsl:value-of select="@reference"/>
			</xsl:attribute>
			</IMG>
			</p>
			<xsl:value-of select="illust"/>
			<xsl:apply-templates />
			<p></p>
			</SPAN>
					</xsl:otherwise>
			</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="image">
	<xsl:choose>
		<xsl:when test="//illust/@obj.id=1">

you are matching on a particular image but your xsl:when test
asks whether there is any illust element anywhere in the document that
has an obj.id attribute with value 1. So will give the same result
on all images.

you almost certainly don't want that // at the start of the test
but without seeing your input format can't be sure exactly what it
should be.
