idiot needs help with testcode

[Bill McCabe]

Hi All

I'm just getting started with XPathScript, and have been trying all afternoon to
guess the proper syntax for accessing an attribute in the following testcode:


$t->{'field'}{testcode} = sub {
    my $node = shift;
    my $t = shift;
    if (findvalue( '@species', $node ) eq 'BF_COUNT') {
        $t->{pre} = "<td align='right'>";
        $t->{post} = "</td>";
    } else {
        $t->{pre} = "<td align='left'>";
        $t->{post} = "</td>";
    }
}

Given this XML

    <field species="BF_COUNT">1234</field>
    
I'm trying to test on the species attribute in order to know whether to right
align it. I get a server error with the error_log message "..."Not a PrimaryExpr
at <" which doesn't help. If I skip the testcode and simply specify:

        $t->{'field'}{pre} = "<td align='left'>";
        $t->{'field'}{post} = "</td>";

everything works fine, so the xml file and the xps file are otherwise ok. I've
looked at all the sample xps files I could find at the axkit site and through a
google search, but no luck. Sorry to post such a really basic question, but I'm
about to go hang myself. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks
Bill
