Secondly: My xpath string is formed on runtime...selecting only those nodes for whcih the user has given some value in the submission form e.g.
xpath = "//person[FirstName='John' and City='London']"; where FirstName and city are nodes of XML file. How can I incorporate the translate function idea in this case?
Will be thankful for your help.

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','abcdefghijk lmnopqrstuvwxyz'), translate('soil','ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ','abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz')) ]
Hope this helps,

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.
