Re: [xsl] Checking if node has data

Hi,

Just define what any data means to you and check that for existence.
For instance if by has data you mean that it should have at least one 
text node then you can simply check if a text node exists inside fruits:

<xsl:if test="mygarden/fruits/text()">
...
</xsl:if>

If any data means any element then you will get

<xsl:if test="mygarden/fruits/*">
...
</xsl:if>

Hope that helps,
George
