How you perform this test really depends on what you're trying to do, but if you just want a match expression that will only match Theatre elements that have actor children, then this'll do it: "Theatre[actor]" So from the root node you could do: <xsl:template match="//Theatre[actor]"> <!-- processing for Theatre elements with actor children --> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="//Theatre[not(actor)]"> <!-- processing for Theatre elements without actor children --> </xsl:template> As has already been mentioned, though, you could also handle it with apply-templates, or a nested if statement, or any number of other ways.
