Xpath is not case sensitive - you have to use the translate function. It is a kludgy fix, but it is the only one. It translates your search term to lower case letters and the node to lower case letters, then it compares. Have fun.
example:
//dataset[contains(translate(title,'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ','abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'), translate('soil','ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ','abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'))]
Hope this helps,

Subject: Re: xpath query - ignore case sensitive
Hello All
A few week ago I asked a question relating to this topic....A friend at the
forum gave his help but I could not get it right.
I have a form that is filled for first name, last name, address, etc.
If I fill the name John (with capital J) and then query the collection for
john (with small j), I should get this result but am not getting it, as
xpath is distinguishing between small and capital letters.
The XPath string is as follow:
xpath = //person[FirstName = 'John']
Can someone help me and give any clue of how can the query be generally made
for ignoreCase.
Thanks.
