<xsl:template match="graphic">
	<xsl:value-of select="string-length(@url)"/>

<xsl:template match="graphic">
	<xsl:variable name="image_src">
       	<xsl:value-of select="./@url"/>
	</xsl:variable>
	<xsl:value-of select="string-length($image_src)"/>
</xsl:template>

Hi,

I am trying to create different sets of output based on the length of the "string" of my variable. Below are the lines I used for calculation:

 <xsl:variable name="image_src">
        <xsl:value-of select="./@url"/>
    </xsl:variable>

 <xsl:template match="graphic">
        <xsl:value-of select="string-length($image_src)"/>
</xsl:template>

If I have XML like: <graphic url="0125"/>. the result is supposed to come out with 4. And, likewise, <graphic url="123456"/> should come out with 6. However, when I run the XSLT, it only gives me "0". Is there something I have done wrong?

Thanks to those who may help.

Alice
