Obviously the typo regarding existence of a church node implying there is an airport can be ignored!! *sigh* too early for fighting with XSL :-) Si Simon.Fairey@xxxxxx Sent by: owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 09/06/2003 10:23 Please respond to xsl-list To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx cc: Subject: When is a variable a nodeset and when isn't it? Hi, Had a look through the past posts and a few mentioned similar things but I'm still a tad confused. Given: <xsl:template match="/all"> <xsl:variable name="root" select="/all/data/town"/> <xsl:for-each select="$root/climate|$root/transportation|$root/tourism"> <xsl:variable name="section" select="name()"/> <xsl:if test="$root/$section/church"> Airports exist<br/> </xsl:if> etc.... Now in the for-each it seems to evaluate $root as part of the x-path expression and works however it doesn't seem to like it in the test. If I print $root it gives me the contents of the nodeset rather than just the string. Should I be creating the root variable in a different way so that it is treated as a simple string? Not sure I'm being very clear here (waiting on an proper XSL course atm!) essentially XMLSpy barfs on the xsl:if. I'm thinking there is something fundamental about how XSL works that I'm missing here as well!
