Re: test if null

Hi,

Try

1. <xsl:if test="not(NEWSFLASHAURL = '')"/>

or

2. <xsl:if test="not(string-length(NEWSFLASHAURL) = 0)"/>

or

3. <xsl:if test="not(count(*) = 0)"/>

1 and 2 check if the content of  NEWSFLASHAURL is the zero-length string
while 3 tests if NEWSFLASHAURL has
no children.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
