Re: Probelm with xsl:value-of in CSV to XML transform

<xsl:when test="name()='classdate'">


don't do that (name() isn not namespace aware and is probably slow)

do

<xsl:when test="self::classdate">


but if you have a template consisting of a xsl:choose like this it's
usually better to change to to be

match="classdate"


                <xsl:element name="classdate">

or more simply <classdate> you only need xsl:eleemnt if you calculate
the element name dynamically.


                          <xsl:value-of select="sortdate"/>


sortdate is your sister not your child, 

                          <xsl:value-of select="preceding-sibling::sortdate[1]"/>

<xsl:value-of select="sortdate"/>, this resulted in <value/>
you selected no children of this name

<xsl:value-of select="name()='sortdate'"/>, this resulted in <value>false</value>
that isn't the name() evaluates to classdate here and thse strings are
not equal


<xsl:value-of select="/root/row/sortdate"/>, this placed all instances of the 
whih is what you selected (in xslt 1 you'd just get the value of teh
first one)



ah you have whol esheet

          <xsl:for-each select="node()">
            <xsl:choose>


yes don't do that that is just implementing template application by
hand, just do
<xsl;apply-templates/>

and replace each when clause by a template

so 

              <xsl:template match="daytime[.='yes']'">
                    <xsl:copy>
                      <items>
                        <item>
                          <label>yes</label>
                          <value>**DAYTIME CLASS**</value>
                        </item>
                      </items>
                    </xsl:copy>
              </xsl:template>

etc



> disable-output-escaping="yes">]]&gt;</xsl:text>
d-o-e is evil, espeecially doing what youu have there as if there are
any < or & in your strings the CDATA section will corrupt the output
(and if there are not, it does nothing)
