XSL Experts,
I'm getting some odd behavior from the translate() method. I'm using it, along with Saxonb 8-7-3j, to convert the value of an attribute from upper case to lower case. Below is the relevant line from my source XML:
<desc id="songsie.y.illbk.42" dbi="songsie.Y.P42">
My XSL is defined as the following:
<xsl:variable name="thumbnail-mixedcase" select="@dbi"/> <xsl:variable name="thumbnail" select="translate($thumbnail- mixedcase, 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ','abcdefghijklmnopqqrstuvwxyz')"/> <nines:thumbnail rdf:resource="http://www.blakearchive.org/ blake/images/{$thumbnail}.100.jpg"/>
My resulting document has has "...songsie.x.p42..." instead of "...songsie.y.p42...". Below is the output:
<nines:thumbnail rdf:resource="http://www.blakearchive.org/ blake/images/songsie.x.p42.100.jpg"/>
I'm dumbfounded by this, especially since it works for well over a thousand other cases. I've looked at this closely with the debugger in oXygen, but I can't make sense out of how the translate function is converting "Y" into "x". Can anyone shed light on this?
cheers andrew
