My XML document has a number of 'mandatory' elements, identified as such by an attribute, for example: <Person> <FirstName>David</FirstName> <LastName Mandatory="True">Baldwin<LastName> </Person> I want to be able to tell if the document is valid in the sense that all of the 'mandatory' elements in the document contain a value. I have tried various approaches with count() and using a variable, for example: <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:variable name="Invalid" select="//@Mandatory='True' and //.=''" /> ...more xsl using value of Invalid... </xsl:template> But the code above (obviously?) returns true if the document contains at least one 'mandatory' element and one 'empty' element regardless of whether they are the same element or not. What I am after is all the elements that are BOTH 'mandatory' and 'empty', but I cannot seem to combine the tests to be performed on the same element. Is this a syntax issue, or am I trying to do something the wrong way in xsl? At the end of the day I am just trying to check the xml contains the required elements, and I have control of the xml schema, so maybe there is a better way of approaching this. Any ideas?
