Subject: Identifying empty elements From: Sridhar_Ramachandran@xxxxxx Date: Wed, 8 Nov 2000 15:24:33 -0800 |
I have a need to identify empty text-only elements and ignore them. The input document might contain an element in one or more of the following forms <SOME_TAG/> <SOME_TAG SOME_ATTRIBUTE="some_value"/> <SOME_TAG> </SOME_TAG> <SOME_TAG>some_text_here</SOME_TAG> For my purpose all but the last one above are empty elements and need to be ignored. Is there a simple mechanism for identifying such elements. The simple xpath expression //SOME_TAG[. !=''] ignores just the first two cases, but selects the third one containing the white-space . thanks in advance for you help. rgds Sridhar XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
