Hello, I am going through the 'Java and XSLT' book and I ran into a chapter about Xpath: I have been seeing a lot fo examples that use what I believe are predicates: eg: <xsl:apply-templates select="presidents/president/name[child::first='John']"/> <xsl:apply-templates select="presidents/president[count(vicePresident) = 0]/name"/> <xsl:apply-templates select="presidents/president[position() = 3]/name"/> etc. I thought I would be smart to figure out what predicates are available and surfed over to the w3.org web site. Then went to link 6.2 Expressions: http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/WD-xslt-19990421#NT-Predicate But I do not see any of the above predicates? I would like to know what I can use there, but do not understand possibly all the different ones: Also, in the above example: child::first='John' How could I find John if the name was lower case john? Eg: I would like to find John or john or JOHN or JOhn. If there is a better site to refer to please include: Sincerely Scott XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
