[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] RE: thumb index creation
I'm not sure exactly what you want, but this code is almost certainly wrong: <xsl:for-each select="//title"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="//title='Seminare'"> That's saying "for every title in the document, if there is some title somewhere in the document equal to 'Seminare'...". You probably meant "if this title is 'Seminare'", which would be <xsl:for-each select="//title"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test=".='Seminare'"> I'm afraid it's not surprising you didn't find the problem in the archives. 10% of the queries on this list are due to people getting the context of their path expressions wrong, but it they knew that was the issue then they wouldn't need to ask the question. Be very careful before using "//". A lot of beginners seem to throw it in for luck, without understanding what it does.
