Re: Output a default value for an empty node

Thanks for your reply David....

I stuck with my initial foray into if/when etc...and came up with this:

<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="string-length(member_name)=0">Unassigned</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="member_name"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
