[example code snipped]
Use something like this:
<xsl:if test="normalize-space(substring(Starttime, 2, 11)) =
normalize-space(/page/Time)">
- The normalize-space function makes sure the strings match, regardless of
whitespace differences.
- Your substring has to start at character 2, because the normalize-space
function strips away the linefeed and replaces it with a single space, which
is counted.
- You had {Time} which isn't correct. You don't need the curly braces here.
Also, you need the correct XPath expression, which is /page/Time: the Time
child of the page document element.
Hope this helps,
Linda
