xsl is case sensitive. Your xml is mixed
case(Selected) compared to your xsl which is
uppercase(SELECTED) for the attribute that you are
checking.
Mike you are correct, that's just how I got it to
work. I think I evolved that from an absolute path in
my xml which didn't work out(and ./ did). I never
tried without it since it worked. Thanks for the
correction.
hope this works for you Seema
