Thanks Hemi. That's good advice.

We have created code that searches for a file extension and outputs it approriately according to that file extension

1) What we do, is create a variable,

2) In this case called "fileExtension"

3) We then take the value of the @url, find all characters after the ".",
this will give you the file extension.
<xsl:variable name="fileExtension"
select="substring-after(string(@url),'.')" />


4) You can then use a number of tests on that variable

Hope this helps: Hemi Kara

Subject: [xsl] Evaluating last 3 or 4 characters of URL?


I am trying to evaluate the last 3 or 4 characters of a URL so that I can add javascript in the href attribute.

It is not liking the {@url}.  Is this not just the string value
of the url attribute? Help on the syntax appreciated.
