Hello,
This is my first post to this list after many months of watching and
learning from rest of you.
I have finally started to get down to business.
Here is my problem.
I am trying to use substring to return a string from a variable which gets a
new value after each pass through a sorted list. As follows:
<xsl:template match="employee">
<xsl:variable name="idvalue" select="id"/>
<xsl:variable name="idStr">
<xsl:if test="substring($idvalue,1)='1_1'">
  <xsl:value-of select="id"/>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:variable>
<div align="left">
<xsl:value-of select="$idStr"/>
<xsl:value-of select="name"/> - <xsl:value-of select="position"/>
</div>
</xsl:template>
I had expected to get several lines of indented divs but instead I only get
one!
Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance,
R.Samways
