Re: [xsl] Q - Parsing & Manipulating Strings from XSL

One more thing... about this code :

<xsl:if test="substring(DaysOperates, ., 1) = 'Y'">
 <xsl:attribute name="class">colorHighlighting</xsl:attribute>
 </xsl:if>
<xsl:text>M</xsl:text>

This (and 6 other instances of this code) is placed inside a
<xsl:for-each select="AvailFlt"></xsl:for-each> statement. This
AvailFlt tag contains the DayOperates tag...

But the test expression never evaluates to true.. where am I going wrong..

Look forward to your reply,

Thanks & Best Regards,

Ahsan
