Subject: Re: [xsl] finding "empty" text nodes where element has a specific attribute From: David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 12 Sep 2003 16:41:43 +0100 |
as always involving tests for empty, it depends what you mean bey empty //*[@name][(not(node()))] tests for no element children at all (and a name attribute) so <a name=""> </a> is non-empty, as is <a name=""><!-- this --></a> If you want want white space to count as empty then //*[@name][not(normalize-space()))] now the two above are selected (ie counted as empty) but so is <a name=""> <b/> </a> If sub elements may be there you may want somnething like //*[@name][not(*)][not(normalize-space()))] David ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star Internet.
