This message has been sitting in my inbox for two days. I don't recall if anyone has answered, but if not, let me help. Your string concatenation is way too complicated for me to give you a direct reply in the amount of time I'd care to spend, so let me give you a simplified example. Suppose you have a series of elements like so: <pets> <animal type="dog" breed="Cocker Spaniel" weight="40" /> <animal type="dog" breed="Great Dane" weight="80"/> <animal type="dog" breed="Shih Tzu" weight="3"/> <animal type="cat" breed="Siamese" weight="3"/> <animal type="cat" breed="Domestic Short Hair" weight="4"/> <animal type="cat" breed="Persian" weight="5"/> </pets> Say you want to select only those elements where type is "dog" and weight is less than "5". The key here is that you want nodes that match the first AND the second condition. You need to express both in your selection conditions. <xsl:template match="/pets/animal[@type='dog' and @weight < 5]"> <xsl:copy-of select="." /> </xsl:template> The rest is left as an exercise for the reader. -- Charles Knell cknell@xxxxxxxxxx - email -----Original Message----- From: Aaron Johnson <Aaron2.Johnson@xxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thu, 11 May 2006 10:58:46 +0100 To: "xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [xsl] Isolating specific elements Hello... I have some xml... <Item> <workItemInstUrn>2076554</workItemInstUrn> <workItemTitle>Future Item Future Item Future Item</workItemTitle> <workItemCode>CW1</workItemCode> <submissionDeadline>2007-05-10T14:00:00.0000000+01:00</submissionDeadline> <releaseDate>2007-04-26T00:00:00.0000000+01:00</releaseDate> <closureDate>2007-06-07T14:00:00.0000000+01:00</closureDate> </Item> I can sort through any <item> node and find submissionDeadline to test against the current date but want to hide any <item> that has a releaseDate greater than today's date. The problem is my test picks up all <item> nodes and displays all because of the submissionDeadline element. Is there a way to test for both the release date and the submission date to keep them excluded? Here is my xsl... <xsl:apply-templates select="//Item[concat(substring(submissionDeadline, 1,4),substring(submissionDeadline, 6,2),substring(submissionDeadline, 9,2),substring(submissionDeadline,12,2),substring(submissionDeadline,15,2),s ubstring(submissionDeadline,18,2)) > $currentDateString]"> <xsl:sort select="submissionDeadline" order="descending"/> <xsl:with-param name="display" >ontime</xsl:with-param> </xsl:apply-templates> <p class="errorText"><xsl:value-of select="count(//Item[concat(substring(submissionDeadline, 1,4),substring(submissionDeadline, 6,2),substring(submissionDeadline, 9,2),substring(submissionDeadline,12,2),substring(submissionDeadline,15,2),s ubstring(submissionDeadline,18,2)) > $currentDateString])"/> Ontime</p> Thanks... .................................................................
