In XSLT 2.0, you will receive an error when any node cannot be converted to an number. In which case we'll need to know the context. How does your stylesheet look like? If you try any of my other examples, these all should work (including using '0' instead of 0). Two things that can easily make your match fail: a context node that does not have a child equal to your test pattern, or if you test for a string, then preserved whitespace may meddle with your results (i.e., <xsl:preserve-space elements="*" /> or xml:space="preserve" on the element). To test if this is the case, change your test to: <xsl:if test="//inUse[normalize-space(.) = '0']"> If that doesn't match when you place it in your root match (i.e, where you match '*' or '/') then there really is no inUse with '0' in your source (the above works regardless of XSLT version 1.0 or 2.0 and regardless of context) ;) Cheers, -- Abel Braaksma
