Mike SappSubject: xsl:choose question
Author: Mike Sapp
Date: 07 Jul 2007 01:53 AM
Hi there, i have a question regarding xsl:choose. Ive never used this function before and would like to have a simple output of either Yes or No if the Publishers/NamePublisher node has any text in it. I belive that i have to do (*) but its not giving me the results im looking for.

Also, i would like to do a Yes/No if the element Publishers/NamePublisher is present...

<xsl:attribute name="copyright">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="Publishers/NamePublisher = (*)">
<xsl:value-of select="'Yes'"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="'No'"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:attribute>

Thank you for your help in advance. Im positive this is a simple question and looking forward to your reply

Just try this, this should work. I tried and it is working.

<xsl:attribute name="copyright">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="Publishers/NamePublisher != ''' ">
<xsl:value-of select="'Yes'"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="'No'"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:attribute>

Can you please explain to me why a "!" at the end of the xpath would work?

Best,

Mike

<xsl:when test="Publishers/NamePublisher = (*)">
Interpretation: Does the text value at Publishers/NamePublisher equal that of the text value at *?

This will not be true, unless you have something like:
<currentcontext>
<first>Publisher1</first>
<Publishers>
<NamePublisher>Publisher1</NamePublisher>
</Publishers>
</currentcontext>

You could also try using the text() node xpath:
<xsl:when test="Publishers/NamePublisher/text()">


<xsl:when test="Publishers/NamePublisher != ''' ">
Interpretation: does the text value at Publishers/NamePublisher not equal to empty string? != means not equals.
