Sorry, The not(normalize-space(myelement) does work... When I refresh the browser(IE 6) after making changes to the underlying xml, it does not show the changes. When I close and reopen the xml doc with the browser, it shows the changes? -----Original Message----- From: Michael Kay [mailto:michael.h.kay@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, June 18, 2002 1:29 PM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: [xsl] Best practices > From a design standpoint, what is the "defacto" way to test > for an empty element? You have to be very careful what you mean by an "empty element". Which of the following are empty? <p/> <p> </p> <p><!-- this is empty --></p> <p><i></i></p> p='' checks that the element exists and has an empty string-value: it will match 1,3,4 in the above list, and 2 if xsl:strip-space is in use. not(p/node()) checks that the element exists and has no children: it will match item 1 in the above list. not(normalize-space(p)) will match all the above.
