Hi Guys,

thanks a lot for the replies.

I tried this one first but surprisingly it didn't work. So I thought maybe I had to use RTF to solve the issue, but apparently not! Now I copied it as you have instructed in your code and it is working fine! I think I might have had a typo or something in my code the first time I tried it. but still the RTF version doesn't work and I am not gonna go through it for now.

Thanks Joe, you are right. there was a typo by the time I copied and pasted my code to my email but before posting it to the list I had tested it without any typo and it didn't work. even after you pointed it out I corrected it again but still no success :(

anyways by now I am gonna leave it as is.

Does anyone know of a good XSL IDE/Editor for Linux? emacs, vi and
even X-based text editors are not good enough to detect the typos.

thanks,

Small typo in your answer :)

<xsl:variable name="contexts" select="//constraint:SimpleConstriant[@rdf:ID=
$contextID]"/>

To the OP, are you sure you want SimpleConstriant rather than
SimpleConstraint?
