Re: [xml-dev] XSLT Stylesheet Exclude Parental Search Results?

[David Carlisle <davidc@nag.co.uk>]

<xsl:template match="/">
so the cntext here is the root of the document, ie the parent of the
html element.

<xsl:when test="contains(.,'Firstname:')">

so . here is the whole document and you are taking its string value,
which is all the character data in the document, ignoring all element
markup.  So if the file, anywhere contains the string 'Firstname:' and 
it also has an element matching
/ns:html/ns:body/ns:div[@id='content']/ns:p/ns:strong"
then you do <xsl:value-of select="."/> which is the string value of teh
whole document.

a) you probably want to as on xsl-list rather than here and b) you want

somthing like


<xsl:for-each test="/ns:html/ns:body/ns:div[@id='content']/ns:p/ns:strong">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains(.,'Firstname:')">
<firstname><xsl:value-of select="."/></firstname>
</xsl:when>

so you are testing the strong element and outputting its content, not
testing the whole document.
