I have field, @Tag, which contains a comma delimited string, and a paramter, $TagsSelected, which is also a comma delimited string. If anyone of the $TagsSelected values are equal to anyone of the @Tag values, I want to display that row. I can not figure out a way to allow for this in XSLT. Originally, $TagsSelected was only one tag and I was able to use: However, this didn’t work exactly because if @Tag was ‘Air Force, Army, Navy’ and $TagsSelected was ‘Air’, it was included in the returned DataSet. ‘Air Force’ does not equal ‘Air’, but ‘Air’ is contained in ‘ Air Force’. Make sense? Anyway, is there a way for me to use javascript or create an xslt function to use instead of contains that will allow me to traverse through the @Tag string and the $TagsSelected string to see if any of the values match and return TRUE or FALSE?

Is is know bug while working with Sql Server and DVWP. THanks Ron HI Marc,

ID hold values like cmiller,charper and so on. now i have Server Veriable loginUser which store value like domain\cmiller and so on. i would like to filter based on cmiller so what i did is <xsl:variable name="Rows" select="/dsQueryResponse/NewDataSet/Row[@ID = substring-after($LogonUser,'\')]"/> but its not working and this same thing work for other webpatrs.
