Re: Testing for CDATA

[Allen Haws <joeshmoe@xxxxxxxxxx>]

To follow my previous question up...
Can I test for a text node?

I've tried using,
<xsl:choose>
   <xsl:when test="text()">
      <xsl:call-template name="displayText"/>
   </xsl:when>
   <xsl:otherwise>
      <xsl:apply-templates/>
   </xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
.
.
.
<xsl:template name="displayText">
   <xsl:value-of select="." display-output-escaping="yes"/>
</xsl:template>

But since there is a text node as a child, it's always true.
Any ideas?
