David ChanSubject: delete empty element
Author: David Chan
Date: 16 Feb 2006 02:44 AM
Hi all,

I can use this to delete the empty element

<xsl:template match="*" mode="copy-unless-empty">
<xsl:if test="node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

but how I can keep the element name which is not empty

for example
<Level1>
<Leve12>
<NAME>TEST</NAME>
<AGE/>
<Leve12>
<Leve1l>

to

<Level1>
<Leve12>
<NAME>TEST</NAME>
<Leve12>
<Leve1l>

Regards
Dave

Hi all,

I found a way to do it,
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="Level/Level2">
<xsl:call-template name="RemoveEmpty" />
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="*" name="RemoveEmpty">
<xsl:if test="count(@*) &gt; 0 or count(node()) &gt; 0">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()" />
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="@* | text() | processing-instruction()">
<xsl:copy />
</xsl:template>
