Re: call of non-function object

[shennessy@xxxxxxxxxx]

Thank you for the clue..
There was another problem with
(children (enl)) which when corrected to ( children enl ) results in better
behavior.

The result now reads:
  (if ( string=?( get-str-attr-no-err "ID" ( select-elements (children enl )
(normalize "graphic") ) ) %test-value% )
    dometrue
    domefalse
);;eoif

In response to shennessy@xxxxxxxxxx:

In your code where you say: "WHAT JADE DOES NOT LIKE..
  (if ( string? ( (attribute-string "ID" ......."
note that  (attribute-string ...) returns a string, say "string-val", then
the extra ( before it means
that Jade sees ("string-val"), which tries to call the function
"string-val", which is a
"non-function object".

In DSSSL there is a difference between ((a)) and (a).
