"if tests" and spaces

[Emmett (2)]

The transform below should create a dropdown where the
entry for "SSS Building I" is selected. (Or am I missing something? )

This transform creates the dropdown but doesn't do the select.

Can "if tests" work when there are spaces?

Thanks

<xml_data>
<building>SSS Building I</building>
</xml_data>

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xslutput method="html" doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" encoding="UTF-8"/>

<xsl:template match="/">

<select name="building">
<option selected="selected">
<xsl:if test="not(/xml_data/building)">
<xsl:attribute name="selected">selected</xsl:attribute> </xsl:if>Select One </option> <option value="SSS Building I"> <xsl:if test="/xml_data/building='SSS Building I'"> <xsl:attribute name="selected">selected</xsl:attribute> </xsl:if>SSS Building I </option> <option value="SSS Building II"> <xsl:if test="/xml_data/building='SSS Building II'"> <xsl:attribute name="selected">selected</xsl:attribute> </xsl:if>SSS Building II </option> <option value="HHH Building III"> <xsl:if test="/xml_data/building='HHH Building III'"> <xsl:attribute name="selected">selected</xsl:attribute> </xsl:if>HHH Building III </option> </select>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

I cannot reproduce your problem -- the transformation when performed by 10 different XSLT processors produces the correct dropdown list with the correct selection.

What XSLT processor are you using?
