Re: [xsl] Finding the first non-empty node

[Ryan Neil Gillespie <scoobie@xxxxxxxx>]

There may be a more efficient way to do this, but I think this will work.

<xsl:template select="root">
  <xsl:for-each select="tag">
    <xsl:if test="string-length(.) > 0">
      <h1>I have data</h1>
    </xsl:if>
  </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
