Re: test for non-null text()

I have used the if statement in the past. You could use it in the
following manner:

<xsl:variable name="myVariable"><xsl:value-of
select="Discription[.!="/></xsl:variable>

<!-- test if there is a value -->
<xsl:if test="boolean($myVariable)">
<img src="images/desc.jpg"/>
</xsl:if>

<!-- test if there is NOT a value -->
<xsl:if test="not(boolean($myVariable))">
<h1>Error: no image is currently available</ht>
</xsl:if>
