hey guys. i'm having trouble using the lang() xslt function in xalan. i've got an i18n xml file like so:
<survey:survey xmlns:survey="http://surveyZ.webslingerZ.com/xml/objects/1.0";> <survey:label xml:lang="en">Test English</survey:label> <survey:label xml:lang="it">Testo Italiano</survey:label> </survey:survey> and i'm trying to select the english label, very simply: <xsl:template match="survey:survey"> <xsl:for-each select="survey:label[lang('en')]"> <xsl:value-of select="."/> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> but it fails to match anything. i wrote a more complex debugging template: <xsl:template match="survey:survey"> <tr> <td> Default: <xsl:value-of select="$defaultLang"/><br/> Target: <xsl:value-of select="$targetLang"/><br/> <br/> <xsl:for-each select="survey:label"> Label: <xsl:value-of select="."/> (<xsl:value-of select="@xml:lang"/>)<br/> <xsl:for-each select="@*"> Attr name: <xsl:value-of select="name(.)"/><br/> Attr local name: <xsl:value-of select="local-name(.)"/><br/> Attr value: <xsl:value-of select="."/><br/> </xsl:for-each> <xsl:if test="lang($defaultLang)">Default<br/></xsl:if> <xsl:if test="lang($targetLang)">Target<br/></xsl:if> </xsl:for-each> </td> </tr> </xsl:template> where defaultLang='en' and targetLang='it', and i note: 1. <xsl:value-of select="@xml:lang"/> returns an empty string, even though the survey:label elements clearly have xml:lang attributes! 2. local-name(@xml:lang) returns 'xml:lang'. shouldn't it return "lang"? i'm using SAX2 to generate the xml in question; is it possible that i'm using it incorrectly? or have i uncovered a possible bug in xalan? i'm using 2.2D13. thanks. - donald
