Hi Anthony,

You can access the umbracoExtension property of a Media Item, eg:
```
<xsl:choose>
 <xsl:when test="Exslt.ExsltStrings:uppercase($mediaNode/umbracoExtension) = 'JPG'">
  this is a .jpg file
 </xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
```
I threw an uppercase in there as I'm not sure if Umbraco changes the case of the extension or uses the exact one on the file, so this will handle either case.
