Subject: Re: [xsl] Testing if a nodeset is empty From: David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 1 Oct 2001 09:41:39 +0100 |
> I would like to avoid an empty <chapter> tag If you use a node set in a boolean context (eg xsl:if test attriubute) then it counts as true if it is non empty and false if it is empty so if you'd been testing against a node set from the source document you would only need to go <xsl:if test="p[@stylename='heading 1,Part']"> but you want to test against a result tree fragment generated by applying templates. rtf can only be compared as strings so: <xsl:variable name="a"><xsl:apply-templates select="p[@stylename='heading 1,Part']" /></xsl:variable> <xsl:if test="$a != ''"> David _____________________________________________________________________ This message has been checked for all known viruses by Star Internet delivered through the MessageLabs Virus Scanning Service.
