RE: Checking whether node value is string or not.

Hello Mukul,
Hi Mukul,

"Johan123" is a perfectly good string, so's "123" for that matter. 

It sounds like you want to disallow any node whose value contains a number
character.
One way would be to remove any numeric characters and see if the node value
has shrunk. If it has then it had a number in it and you don't want it:

<xsl:if test="string-length(translate(.,'0123456789','')) =
string-length(.)">
	<!-- allow the node -->
</xsl:if>

hope it works,
Tom Weissmann
