Re: [xsl] How do i use a substring

["Laura Jenkins" <xsl_list at hotmail dot com>]

is it very application critical that u use the namespace
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl";>?????

if not then u are better off using
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>

u seem to have this problem even before, with the <xsl:variable> and 
<xsl:text>..
WD-xsl was based on a very early working draft of XSLT before
some of these elements were defined.
you are more restricted with the namespace u are using
