Hello Alia
The simple answer is either to replace
"contains(child::text(),'Euro')"
with
"contains(.,'Euro')"
or to use <xsl:strip-space> to remove whitespace nodes.
The whole node evaluated in string context will be all its
text nodes put together. You can see this if you were to try this:
<xsl:for-each select="child::text()">
<child><xsl:value-of select="."/></child>
</xsl:for-each>
<total><xsl:value-of select="."/></total>
The reason your original test worked sometimes is that in those
cases the first text node was the text you wanted, not whitespace;
whereas in this case there's a text node containing just whitespace -
a linefeed in fact - and being the first node, it's the one that's
evaluated by "child::text()".
