> One way to do it is: > <xsl:when test="string(elem) == string('')"> > Note: the quotes inside the second string() is two single quotes No. This is a FAQ. (see the faq pages, I'd guess) equality is = not == and the above would test true for <elem><anything/><x><y/></x></elem> sometimes you do want to test for that, but it isn't testing if the element is empty. <xsl:when test="elem/node()"> tests if elem has any child nodes (text, comments, elements, pis) David _____________________________________________________________________ This message has been checked for all known viruses by Star Internet delivered through the MessageLabs Virus Control Centre.
