If you've already used normalize-space() then you just need to test for empty string, ie <xsl:if test="normalize-space(.)='')> </xsl:if> If you want to check it wasn't originally empty <xsl:if test="not(.='') and normalize-space(.)='')> </xsl:if> > third - the relevent info: parser: MSXML 3 working in conjunction with By default MS's DOM builder discards white space nodes, so your stylesheet never gets to see them.
