In the for-each, did you try printing out the value of "."?
Not sure about this, but I think the string value of
"admissions/state/text()" will include the value of the child
<statelink> element as well.
Try removing the text() node test. So:
<xsl:for-each select="admissions/state">
Kevin
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
> <admissions>
> <state>Alabama
> <statelink
> href="http://www.alabar.org/page.cfm?view=3&subgroup=main">
> Bar Admissions Information</statelink>
> </state>
>> <xsl:for-each select="admissions/state/text()">
> <xsl:if test=".=$state">
> <xsl:value-of select="."/>
> </xsl:if>
> </xsl:for-each>
> The if never evalutes to true even if it is testing
> Alabama=Alabama. I can print the value of the parameter using
> <xsl:value-of select="$state"/> just fine
