1. get rid of the curly brackets and the first pair of quotes:

<xsl:if test="$account='on'">

(Curly brackets are never used inside an XPath expression, they are only
used to nest an XPath expression within an attribute value that is
designated as an attribute value template).

2. get rid of the leading and trailing spaces, either by declaring the
"constant" as
<xsl:variable name="account">on</account>
or by using normalize-space() in the comparison.
