How do I test the value of a variable in a <xsl:if ...> statement?

[mark4asp]

I'm getting a problem with this code and I think the offending linke is
:

<xsl:if test="$folder = 'Search'">

I want to test the value of the Folder element for a value of precisely
"Search" and include the extra html as shown below if the test passes.
The rest of the code validates and so, I hope, works.

What am I doing so very wrong here?
This is a relevant fragment of the xml:

<BatchEmail>
<Domain>www.myd omain.com</Domain>
<Destination>
<Folder>Searc h</Folder>
</Destination>
...
...
<BatchEmail>

Here is my problem code snippet. When I cut this snippet (below) out
the rest of the code parses with no problems:
blah blah...

<xsl:variable name="domain" select="BatchEm ail/Domain" />
<xsl:variable name="folder" select="BatchEm ail/Destination/Folder" />

blah blah blah...

<xsl:if test="$folder = 'Search'">
<table cellspacing="0" >
<tr>
<th class="link"><a href="http://{$domain}/Search/Search.aspx"><s pan
class="full">Se arch Database</span></a></th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Search over 5000 reports on over 1600 investors.<br /><a
class="blue" href="http://{$domain}/Search/Search.aspx">cl ick
here.</a><br/><br/></td>
</tr>

<tr>
<th class="link"><a
href="http://{$domain}/Analysis/Analysis.aspx"> <span
class="full">An alysis</span></a></th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Monitor contract wins, cross reference based on consultant,
mandate size, asset class, investment style and manager. Generate your
own league tables of manager inflows and mandate wins. Analyse capital
flows broken down by asset class and identify trends in consultant
manager selections.<br /><a class="blue"
href="http://{$domain}/Analysis/Analysis.aspx"> click
here.</a><br/><br/></td>
</tr>

<tr>
<th class="link"><a href="http://{$domain}/Survey/Survey.aspx"><s pan
class="full">Ma rketplace Survey</span></a></th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Quarterly Report. Coverage on the major deals, quantifiable net
inflows and out flow charts, net capital flows by asset class and style
and number of investors expressing an interest in a particular asset
class.<br /><a class="blue"
href="http://{$domain}/Survey/Survey.aspx">cl ick here.</a></td>
</tr>
</table>
</xsl:if>

blah blah blah blah...

You guys are entirely too nice and warmhearted fellas. I think such
unnatural kindness to strangers should be legally prohibited so as not to
make vindictive morons like me feel bad whenever you politely and patiently
ask neophytes for essential clarifications as observed on this thread.

I've decided to abandon this thread. It's hard to say what difficulty
I'm having as the only error message I get from the editor when I try
to save is "Invalid file".

I've written another post below which is far more specific and gets
right down to the meat of the problem I'm trying to solve.
