Use the translate() function on both $adminStatus and target value.

You use the translate function to convert all upper case to lower case.

<xsl:if test="translate($adminStatus, 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz') = 'down'">
  do something
</xsl:if>

this is wrong.. you try to translate the lowercase letters to uppercase in order to match a lowercase word. -1 – Treemonkey Jul 20 '11 at 14:57
