I have the following XML <menu> <item>System Admin</item> <item>Position Posting</item> <item>Static Data Management</item> ... </menu> I am trying to write an XSL just to translate the "<item>": System Admin, however, the following XSL gives a compiling error: <xsl:template match="item='System Admin'"> currCel = "mnusetupbatch"; currClass = "hgwhiteborder2-1"; parentcurrCel = "mnurisksim"; parentcurrClass = "hgwhiteborder2"; var actionCall = ""; </xsl:template> Can somebody help? Thanks in advance!
