Dear All,

I have tried with the following code. The following are the results. I
am using saxon9.

<xsl:template match="*">
     <xsl:if test="contains(text(),'@')">@ found in <xsl:value-of
select="name(.)"/></xsl:if>

error message :
"XPTY0004: A sequence of more than one item is not allowed as the
first argument of
  contains() ("", "", ...)  in built-in template rule"

or

<xsl:template match="text()">
     <xsl:if test="contains(.,'@')">@ found in <xsl:value-of
select="name(..)"/></xsl:if>

Warning Message:
Warning: on line 1967 of npg.xsl:
  The attribute axis starting at a text node will never select anything
Warning: on line 1967 of npg.xsl:
  The child axis starting at a text node will never select anything

and there is no output from this code.

Please suggest what should i do.

Regards,
Ganesh
