I'm not an expert (sorry) so this is only a suggestion
1) some whitespaces might interfere between the string
'add_to_favourites_session' and the value of the $webaction-value variable.
I would suggest a formula more like ;
normalize-space($query)
<xsl:if test="contains(normalize-space($webaction-value),
'add_to_favourites_session')
and contains('add_to_favourites_session',
normalize-space($webaction-value))">
...just to make sure.
2) In xsl, calling a variable by xsl:value-of only selects the string part
of the nodes (the text()). It means that if the variable is more than simple
text and include nodes around it or inside it (it's called a node-set or
nodeset because it contains tags and text, hope I'm not making too much
mistakes saying that), only the text will appear when asking for
xsl:value-of.
xsl-copy-of on the other hand, copies all what is inside the variable, nodes
(tags) and text and attributes ...
The best referenc is at the xsl FAQ (in the "variable" page):
http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/N8090.html#d8123e583
Solution (if that is the problem, which is not sure at all):
Most xsl processor have a "node-set" or "nodeset" function which is an
extension of the xsl specification. For xalan it's xalan:nodeset, but you've
got some for saxon or xt. (beware, you've got to add the specific namespace
of your processor on top of your page for this tags to be executed)
This stuff enable you to check parts by parts the inside of the variable,
for exemple calling by templates for each part (nodes attributes and text)
Hope it helps, but I guess you might want better information. The xsl list
is very active.
