Re: [xsl] easy one

[Gary Hegenbart <ghegenbart@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hardy,
I'm not an expert, but you need to check to see if the node name
starts with ERR. Assuming you are working in the 'user' node, you can
try this:

<xsl:if test="count(./*[starts-with(name(), 'ERR')])&gt;0">
  <!-- do something for an error node -->
</xsl:if>

It counts all child nodes whose name starts with ERR, the tests if the
count is greater than

Good luck,
Gary
