(Core :: XSLT, defect)

Description

[Rubén Vidal]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041128 Firefox/1.0 (Debian package 1.0-4)

the next code XSL 
<xsl:choose>
  <xsl:when test="starts-with(legalform,'P')">Particular</xsl:when><br/>
  <xsl:when test="starts-with(legalform,'E')">Enterprise</xsl:when><br/>
</xsl:choose>
make the parser chrash (Error loading stylesheet: Parsing an XSLT stylesheet
failed.)

PD: It can be fixed using an "xsl:if" instruction like
<xsl:if test="starts-with(legalform,'P')">Particular</xsl:if><br/>

But it will be better if it could be fixed :)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make a xsl page with a xsl:when instruction using "starts-with" condition
2. Make a xml page using the xsl created
3. try to charge the xml page

Actual Results:  
explorer shows a parser error

Expected Results:  
show the xml page with the xsl transformation

Error loading stylesheet: Parsing an XSLT stylesheet failed.

Please doublecheck your stylesheet, i'd be highly surpired if there's a bug
here. If it still doesn't work please provide a *minimal* testcase.

actually, no need. The problem is that you have the <br/> tag outside the
<xsl:when>, as a direct child of the <xsl:choose>
