Dionylin,

In that case it is advised to move the selecting rules one level up to a template that matches the data element rather than the link element.

Expand the test property for the xsl:when with the required condition using 'not()'. Likely you need more than one "when" statements in that case.
Looking at your example the results won't be satisfying because within a <data> element there can be more than one link containing 'http://'. You should decide what to do there (display all links, or only the first).


Could take a while testing the different options before you have found the final rule set for that one.
Makes good exersice though :-)

aad kamsteeg, thanks so much for your prompt reply.

your solution display all nodes that has 'http://' or 'ftp://'.
it works fine but how about if i want to get just ONE valid link based on
the given conditions.

           if the value of the link node has 'http://' string then use this
link

           else if there's no 'http://' string get the value of the link
node that contains 'ftp://'  then use this link instead

thanks again

: Try this:
:
: <xsl:template match="link">
: <xsl:choose>
: <xsl:when test="starts-with(., 'http://') or starts-with(., 'ftp://')">
: <a href="{.}">text</a>
: </xsl:when>
: <xsl:otherwise/>
: </xsl:choose>
: </xsl:template>
