node test

[glk127]

Hi,

Having a hard time with an XPath function and I need some help.

I have the following rdf:

<bdl:source rdfarseType="Resource">
<bdl:sourceName>Bilbo, Baggins</bdl:sourceName>
<bdl:sourceEmail></bdl:sourceEmail>
<bdl:sourceHomepage></bdl:sourceHomepage>
<bdl:location rdfarseType="Resource">
<bdl:city>Chicago</bdl:city>
<bdl:state>IL</bdl:state>
<bdl:country>United States</bdl:country>
<bdl:region>NorthCentral</bdl:region>
</bdl:location>
<bdl:academicAffiliation>None</bdl:academicAffiliation> </bdl:source>

I have a bunch of params set at the top of my stylsheet, including the following parameter: <xslaram name="city"/> I've verified that city is getting the correct value before running the function and that the rest of the stylesheet is working as it should. When I run the XPath function for bdl:city, however, nothing is returned (should have five hits for Chicago). It is contained in a long for-each call that sets a variable to true|false. Can someone tell me what is wrong with the location path below (or is it the function):

<xsl:for-each select="bdl:foo">
<xsl:variable name="bar">
....
....

<!-- THIS WORKS -->

<xsl:if test="string-length(normalize-space($academicaffl)) > 0"> <xsl:if test="not(bdl:source/bdl:academicAffiliation[contains(text,$academicaffl)])"> <xsl:value-of select="false"/> </xsl:if> </xsl:if>

<!-- THIS DOESNT WORK -->

<xsl:if test="string-length(normalize-space($city)) > 0"> <xsl:if test="not(bdl:source/bdl:location/bdl:city[contains(text,$city)])"> <xsl:value-of select="false"/> </xsl:if> </xsl:if>

</xsl:variable>
</xsl:for-each>

Using xalan 2.6.0

Thanks in advance,

Gerry
