Subject: Re: [xsl] Testing if an element has an attribute From: David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 8 Oct 2001 17:59:54 +0100 |
an XSL stylesheet has to be XML <xsl:if @name != ""> isn't XML: you can only have attribute/value pairs inside the element start tag. You could change it to <xsl:if test="@name != ''"> and then it would be legal. However it doesn't do what the subject line suggests, it tests whether the attribute is non empty. In particular <person name=""/> has a name attribute but the above test would be true. If you want to test if person has an attribute just do <xsl:if test="@person"> however since you use the person attribute as an element name, I suspect that your first test is better. Also of course you have these lines in the wrong order </xsl:if> </xsl:element> you need to close the xsl:element inside the xsl:if since you started it inside th exsl:if.
