I can't confess to being intimately familiar with this XML format, but since every other node in the expression appears to be in a namespace (i.e., sht:), how is that the @ValueType isn't also in this namespace (e.g., sht:ValueType)?

Hi Charles,

I tried to get an XML input by inserting
<map:serialize type="html"/>
in Cocoon pipeline right before that XSL transformer,
but that didn't produce any HTML in the browser.
Unfortunately, there are no Cocoon debuggers to date,
project Lepido http://www.eclipse.org/lepido/  never came to fruition.
So it's a hell to support/debug Cocoon apps  ;-)

I think, my questions was simplier than that.
If you assume that the path to the Excel cell $row/sht:Cell/ is right,
how do you get (point to) an attribute ValueType for the cell with the
name "Start_Date".
I mean, what would be the correct syntax of that expression ?
Does that expression look right to you?
<xsl:if test='not($row/sht:Cell/sht:Name[.="Start_Date"]/@ValueType="DATE")'>
  ... do something
</xsl:if>

At least these 2 portions seem to work by themselves (but not combined together)
in the other portions of XML transformer:
<xsl:if test='not($row/sht:Cell/sht:Name[.="Start_Date"])'> ...
<xsl:when test='@ValueType="DATE"'> ...

Or maybe there is a way to combine them in condition with an "and" ?

Thank you,
Oleg.
