Re: [xsl] XSL If Statement - Repost

> The Matrix tag is present only once in the XML. 

note that XSLT has no access to the tags in the original source
file. (don't use tag to mean eleemnt node, it leads to confusion, there
are two tags in <matrix>...</matrix> representing one element node)

> I tried xsl:if test="topic/detail/matrix=1" but it didn't work. 

you have to give us some clues if you want help.
If you posted actual code someone would probably run it and tell you
what us wrong. If you just post fragments (especillay fragments with all
the the xml syntax < > removed) then we can only really make guesses.

"didn't work" could mean that you got a syntax error from your xslt
processor (which would most likely mean that some of the syntax that you
haven't shown in your mail message is wrong)


or "didn't work" might mean that you didn't get the answer that you
expected, in which case, it would be a lot easier to answer if you said
what answer you expected, and what answer you got.

why can't you post something that is XML instead of something that
leaves us guessing where all the closing tags are,



> P.S. - When I give the actual XSLT code in Plain text

If you post the code as plain text we'd see it. Probably your mailer is
trying to be too clever and thing things with xml markup is html mail,
and then failing to undersatnd the tags as they are not html. It will be
possible to tell it not to do that, but that's not really a topic for
this list.
