I posted a problem a few days or so ago,
describing that I was trying to use:
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test=". = 'Transaction_Type'">
Transaction Description
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of />
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
I received an error:
Expected token 'eof' found '='. . -->=<-- 'Transaction_Type'
and I thought it was because of the namespace that I was using:
http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl. (I know this is obsolete but the
current version of software I am using requires me to do so.)
However, a consultant came in and changed
<xsl:when test=". = 'Transaction_Type'">
to
<xsl:when test=".[. $eq$ 'Transaction_Type']">
and this worked!
He just left (he was working an overnight shift), but I am
anxious to know what the [ ] (with the dot inside it) means.
Also, from what I understand a $ sign is used to get the value
of a variable, but how about $eq$?
Thanks in advance,
-alex
