Re: Substring test

<navigation>
	<focusedTab unremovable="true" immutable="true" ID="38" name="Home"/>
</navigation>

...when I run the template below, it shows the correct respnse:
	
	<h1>Not Broken</h1>
	
	<xsl:template match="navigation/focusedTab">
			<xsl:call-template name="activeTab"/>
	</xsl:template>
	
	<xsl:template name="activeTab">
		<xsl:choose>
			<xsl:when test="//focusedTab/@name='Home'">
				<h1>Not Broken</h1>
			</xsl:when>
			<xsl:otherwise>
				<h1>Broken</h1>
			</xsl:otherwise>
		</xsl:choose>
	</xsl:template>
	</xsl:stylesheet>

If the name attribute has a value of 'Home::foo'. When I run the
template again, because it is not  "Home" it shows the correct
respnse:

<navigation>
	<focusedTab unremovable="true" immutable="true" ID="38" name="Home::foo"/>
</navigation>

What I want to do is test for 'Home' and ignore the following '::foo'
part of the element, effectively breaking it up into two parts 'Home'
and '::foo'.

If I understand what you are trying to do, the "='Home' should be inside
the predicate like this:

<xsl:when
test="($tabName[substring-before(@name,'::')='Home'])">home</xsl:when>
