So wondering why I am > having a problem with my XML source. whatever the problem is, it is in a part of your source, or part of your stylesheet that you haven't shown us, so it's hard to offer much help. Perhaps a DTD is defaulting the attribute for example. You didn't say whether you are using xslt 1 or 2. in xslt 1 <xsl:if test="string(C/@test)"> is true if there is a test attribute with non empty value and false if there is not. in xslt 2 <xsl:if test="string(C/@test)"> is false if there is no test attribute or if the single test attribute has value "", it is true if theer is a single test attribute, and that has non empty value, and it is an error if there are more than 1 test attributes. Unless you intent test="" to test as false, it's more common to just have <xsl:if test="C/@test"> which in xslt 1 or 2 is true if there is a test attribute and false if there is not.
