RE: xslt filtering question

The problem is that you are only looking at the first occurrence of
fieldinfo node.  You need to change to a document wide match or you need to
do a for-each select="xml/resultset/resultinfo/fieldinfo" and then do your
logic.  Here is an example of the template based pattern matching:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="xml/resultset/resultinfo/fieldinfo">
<xsl:choose>
  <xsl:when test="contains(@permissions, 'w')">
    <a>
      <xsl:attribute name="href">http://url</xsl:attribute>
      Edit
    </a>
  </xsl:when>
  <xsl:otherwise> Edit </xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>

</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Hope this helps.

Subject:  xslt filtering question

Hey, I'm having trouble writing an expression to match any occurance of
'w' in  a 'permission' attribute within a block of xml.  There can be
n-many 'fieldinfo' elements, and if any has a permissions attribute with a
'w' in it, I need to take one action, and another if there are no 'w's. 
In the code snippet below the xml block, the xpression im feeding
'contains' isnt properly written, I'm fairly new and having trouble with
it, any help would be appreciated.

<xml>
  <resultset>
    <resultinfo>
      <fieldinfo displayname="" name="userid" permissions=""/>
      <fieldinfo displayname="" name="username" permissions="rw"/>
      <fieldinfo displayname="" name="password" permissions="r"/>
      <fieldinfo displayname="" name="userlevel"permissions="rw"/>
    </resultinfo>
  ..
</xml>



<xsl:choose>
  <xsl:when
test="contains(/xml/resultset/resultinfo/fieldinfo/@permissions, 'w')">
    <a>
      <xsl:attribute name="href">http://url</xsl:attribute>
      Edit
    </a>
  </xsl:when>
  <xsl:otherwise> Edit </xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
