Yep, that's why it was so confusing... I'm using msxml3.dll Frank -----Original Message----- From: David Carlisle [mailto:davidc@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: lunes, 17 de septiembre de 2001 10:45 To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Non-existing node > Well, I already knew that ;) > The problem is that this is true for a non-existing node: > <xsl:if test="SomeNode!=''"> > So the value returned must be "something"... which system are you using? That test should return false (and saxon and msxsl do the right thing) SomeNode!='' see the XPath spec: SomeNode!='' s true if and only if there is a node in the node set selected by SomeNode such that that node has string vale != ''. If the node set is empty clearly there is no node in the set with this propoerty so the test is false.
