JJJ JJJSubject: NULL string, replace with proper nillable element
Author: JJJ JJJ

Hi
We have an old XML file, which needs to be transformed using XSLT.
Due to the way it was originally implemented each time a NULL element value is sent over it is sent over tas the string NULL.
What I'd like to do is each time an element has a value of NULL it should be replaced so:
<a>NULL</a>
<b>NULL</b>

would become:
<a></a>
<b></b>

The problem is that this happens in multiple elements/nodes so do I have to do an if test for every dingle select/element or is there a quicker way ?

Thanks.
