When it does so, it will never get to the <msxsl:otherwise> element, so the <p> literal result element and the second versions of the "Vendor: " and "Vendor URL:" literal text will not be added to the result tree. > Why not just > <xsl:otherwise> > <msxsl:if test="."> > </msxsl:if> > <p>Vendor: <xsl:value-of select="system-property('xsl:vendor')"/> > <br/>Vendor URL: > <xsl:value-of select="system-property('xsl:vendor-url')"/></p> > </xsl:otherwise> This will get you an unwanted copy of the "Vendor: " and "Vendor URL:" literal text. > Wouldn't that be the the same, every time your test is true it > will do nothing and then continue? The real reason was that I couldn't come up with a "test" attribute value that was always false according to the IE5 XSL processor. I was in a hurry, so after I tried a few things that didn't work (and got errors about requiring a DOM node), I fell back to testing "." and using <msxsl:otherwise> inside <msxsl:choose> for the false case. I did mention when I posted the stylesheet to the list that I was looking for suggestions for improvement. Now you know why.
