Counting in xslt 2003-04-16 - By Phil Friedman
Dan, you can use the translate function. Here are some examples...
<xsl:template name="compare-no-case">
<xsl:param name="str1"/>
<xsl:param name="str2"/>
<!-- return value -->
<xsl:value-of select="boolean( translate($str1,'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ',
'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz')
= translate($str2,'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ',
'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz')
)"/>
</xsl:template> <!-- compare-no-case -->
<xsl:template name="lowercase">
<xsl:param name="text"/>
<!-- <xsl:message terminate="no"><xsl:value-of select="$text"/>:<xsl:value-of
select="translate($text,'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ',
'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz')"/></xsl:message> -->
<!-- return value -->
<xsl:text></xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="translate($text
,
'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'
,
'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
)"/><xsl:text></xsl:text>
</xsl:template> <!-- lowercase -->
<xsl:template name="uppercase">
<xsl:param name="text"/>
<!-- return value -->
<xsl:text></xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="translate($text
,
'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
,
'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'
)"/><xsl:text></xsl:text>
</xsl:template> <!-- uppercase -->

|Hi Joe,
|I'm not sure what you mean by folding the values?
|I just had an idea that I could write a stylesheet to create an
|intermediate xml doc with all values of @(protected) in lowercase and
|then apply my existing stylesheet to the intermediate xml doc. A bit
|extreme but I've got to meet a deadline for this.

|Thanks,

|Classic solution would be to fold the values to a single case before
|comparing them. I'm having trouble accessing the spec right now, but
|there's probably something in the XSLT function library which would
|accomplish this...
