RE: [xsl] Knowing if a node has children

["Jaime A Stuardo Bahamondes" <jstuardo@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thaks all who answered.. that worked, but now I need  to test if the child doesn't have a node called "menu".

I can use <xsl:if test="child::menu"> to test if menu exists, but how can I test the negative? something like <xsl:if test="not child::menu">?

Thanks
Jaime
