Re: A simple xsl:if question from a newbie
> My XML-file looks somthing like this
I hope it's just your example but:
<ROW id=0>
isn't well formed (missing quotes around the attribute value)
Also if id were of type ID (specified in a DTD) you couldn't have
start its value with a digit.
However ignoring that,
<xsl:if test="substring(Starttime, 1, 10) = {Time}">
The {} is a syntax error, if you miss them out you get
<xsl:if test="substring(Starttime, 1, 10) = Time">
which is valid but would test against a Time child of the current ROW
element, what you actually want is
<xsl:if test="substring(Starttime, 1, 10) = /page/Time">
except that your substring indexes are wrong as the first character
in all your StartTime examples, and your Time example, is a newline
not the first digit.
So probably you want
<xsl:if test="contains(Starttime, normalize-space(/page/Time))">
which should probably be optimised by sticking
<xsl:variable name="time" select="normalize-space(/page/Time)"/>
at the top level of your stylesheet, then
<xsl:if test="contains(Starttime, $time">
