Subject: [xsl] Ignoring a child element From: <Emily.Garrett@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 7 Sep 2006 15:35:52 -0400 |
I'm trying to weed out a <para> element that does not have any content. However, it does have a TLStyle element which would style the content if it existed. The XML table entry looks like this: <entry colname="1" morerows="0" align="left" valign="top"> <para> <TLStyle>BodyText</TLStyle> </para> </entry> I tried using normalize-space(.), but since the TLStyle element is in there, it tests true. normalize-space(.) = BodyText <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="normalize-space(.)"> <xsl:apply-templates select="current()"/> </xsl:when> The following code also tests true, but I'm not sure why. I want it to ignore what's in TLStyle and tell me if there is any other content inside of <entry>. <xsl:variable name="withoutTLStyle" select="node()[not(self::TLStyle)]"/> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="normalize-space($withoutTLStyle)"> <xsl:apply-templates select="current()"/> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <!--do something else because it's empty--> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> normalize-space($withoutTLStyle) is also = BodyText. Any thoughts on how to conquer this? Emily Garrett
