Re: Multiple attributes present and non-present

Dear Friends,
I am having a problem with my testing for empty attributes. I had
this working, but now it doesn't. Can't figure it out (below).

The trouble is that I have attributes I don't want displayed in these
elements. Some of these attributes are going to become data in the
new element tag like @SC300. So I need some way to test for an empty
attribute. I thought that:

<xsl:if test="@ENCODINGANALOG/text()"/>

would do this.

I did have it working. I changed the name of the @LINK attribute to
@ENCODINGANALOG then changed the name in my stylesheet and now I get
no attribute values at all, or I am back to empty attributes "".

Any ideas?

OUTPUT:=====================
<PHYSDESC ddddd="300$81\c$a">1 ms. vocal score (13 p.)</PHYSDESC>

OUTPUT:=====================
<PHYSDESC ddddd="">data.......</PHYSDESC>

Any idea what I am doing wrong?
