Topic: using params in xsl IF element

hi, i want to evaluate the value of a parameter in an IF element, the code goes following which does not work:

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
<xslaram name="msgid" />
<xsl:for-each select="//message">
<xsl:if test="@id=$msgid">

......... processing.......

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

where id is an attribute of all message element in the xml. basically i would like the code to perform certain processing when the message id = the given msgid. hav tried test="@id=[$msgid]", test="[id=$msgid]" all do not work. what should i write here?

thanks alot!

In the future block out your code using the UBB code tags. It will make it easier to look at your code.

<xsl:param name="msgid"/>

<xsl:for-each select="//message">
  <xsl:if test="@id=$msgid">
    ...
  </xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>

This should do what you want. What could be happenning is that your values are not the same. Maybe you have additional white space or something in there.

Maybe try

<xsl:param name="msgid"/>

<xsl:for-each select="//message">
  <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="@id=$msgid">
      ...
    <xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise>
       <p>id's are not equal<br/>
       @id : <xsl:value-of select="@id"/>
       $msgid : <xsl:value-of select="$msgid"/></p>
    </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each>
