for changing the case , you can use translate() function
translate($x, 'abcdef....z','ABCD..Z')
Well, that's fine for English text. However, the XSLTSL now handles internationalised text (ie. French, German, etc, case translations).
Also, having hard-coded 'translate()' functions littered throughout your stylesheets can lead to future maintenance problems. That's true of the hard-coded approach in other circumstances.
XSLTSL represents a *general* solution to these types of (commonly encountered) problems. As it happens, case translation is one of the simpler functions of the library.
Using named templates makes the syntax somewhat clumsy - but that's XSLT for you. There's not much we can do about that with XSLT 1.0 (I believe v1.1 should be better).
Cheers, Steve Ball

i have a very basic doubt regarding how we can convert the case using xsl i have a variable <xsl:variable name = "ampm" select="//Music/programme/ampm"/>
it gives AM from xml file.. i need to convert it to am how do i do it??
The XSLT Standard Library, http://xsltsl.sf.net/, has a general solution to this problem - str:to-lower.
<xsl:variable name='ampm'> <xsl:call-template name='str:to-lower'> <xsl:with-param name='text' select='//Music/programme/ampm'/> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:variable>
