RE: [xsl] Checking if node has data

[Manpreet Singh <singhm@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

hi,
  One way could be:

  <xsl:template match="fruit">
   <xsl:variable name="x">
   	<xsl:value-of select="."/>	
   </xsl:variable>
   <xsl:if test="$x!=''">
   	<!--DO SOMETHING-->
   </xsl:if>
  </xsl:template>

Regards
Manpreet

Subject: [xsl] Checking if node has data


Hi, 
I want to find out if a node say <fruits></fruits> in my XML file has data
in it or not and then decide as to what I need to do.

I can check if a nodes exists or not in XSL not sure how to check if it has
any data.

<xsl:if test="mygarden/fruits='true'">
.... Do something
</xsl:if>


Any help ?

regards,
raman
