Thanks and Sorry, the XML was just a piece since it was too long. I just deleted the wrong Attribute for the demo. <g>..

When I put in both ways I get no data. I remove the IF and I get all data.

I want it to say something like:
IF PREVIOUS_PAGE is empty don't display Information...

<xsl:if test="@PREVIOUS_PAGE != ''"> I would guess, but nothing, not even an error occurs

I found a website:
http://www.zvon.org/xxl/XSLTreference/Output/index.html

But all examples are simple with no attributes. Doesn't anyone have a site showing XML and it's entirety?

I don't see any PREVIOUS_QUERY attributes in your XML, so it's unlikely
they'll get selected. :>)
Try if test='string(@PREVIOUS_PAGE)' or stay with your @PREVIOUS_PAGE != ''
The data appears as it should when the test is removed because the default
templates are invoked.
I hope this helps
Edmund

<FOOTER>
	<CONTENT PREVIOUS_PAGE="" NEXT_PAGE="2"></CONTENT>
	<CONTENT PREVIOUS_PAGE="1" NEXT_PAGE="3"></CONTENT>
	<CONTENT PREVIOUS_PAGE="2" NEXT_PAGE="4"></CONTENT>
</FOOTER>

In my XSL I have :
<xsl:for-each select="CONTENT">
	<xsl:if test="@PREVIOUS_QUERY!=''">
		<a><xsl:attribute name="href">default.asp<xsl:value-of
select="@PREVIOUS_QUERY" /></xsl:attribute>Previous Page</a><br/>
	</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>

This IF Statement causes NO DATA to appear.   Take out the If statement and
all data appears as it should.
