RE: [xsl] How to check whether any of child node with partic

Assuming your xml source is

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
  <ATTACHMENT>
    <ATTACHMENT_NAME></ATTACHMENT_NAME>
    <ATTACHMENT_LINK>http://yahoo.com</ATTACHMENT_LINK>
    <ATTACHMENT_NAME>link</ATTACHMENT_NAME>
    <ATTACHMENT_LINK>http://msn.com</ATTACHMENT_LINK>
  </ATTACHMENT>
  <ATTACHMENT>
    <ATTACHMENT_NAME>link2</ATTACHMENT_NAME>
    <ATTACHMENT_LINK>http://msn.com</ATTACHMENT_LINK>
  </ATTACHMENT>
</root>

You could do

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
 <xsl:output method="html"/>
 <xsl:template match="/">
  <html><body>
  <P><B>ATTACHMENT:</B></P>
    <xsl:for-each select="root/ATTACHMENT">
     <xsl:for-each
select="child::ATTACHMENT_NAME[string(normalize-space(.))]">
      <xsl:variable name="href"
select="following-sibling::ATTACHMENT_LINK[1]"/>
      <a href="{$href}"><xsl:apply-templates/></a>
      <br/>
     </xsl:for-each>
    </xsl:for-each>
   </body></html>
 </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
