Re: [xsl] how to test if attribute=''

["Vasu Chakkera" <vasucv@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

your test
<xsl:if test="@whatever !=''"> need not mean what it is intended to mean.
you may try <xsl:if test="not(@whatever ='')">
The above two expressions are not the *same* though it looks logical to 
assume so.If there is no *whatever* attribute , the first test is false 
while the second is true.
