RE: Checking for EMPTY tag

[Dennis Myrén]

You may do something like(not tested): <xslt:variable name="n2">             <xslt:choose>                         <xslt:when test="0 = string-length(age)">NA</xslt:when>                         <xslt:otherwise><xslt:value-of select="age" /></xslt:otherwise>             </xslt:choose> <xslt:variable>   Note that n2 will contain a string rather than an element reference.   Regards, Dennis JD Myrén Developer Oslo Kodebureau Tel:      (+47) 98 00 11 92 Mail:   [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web:   www.oslokb.no From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 16. september 2004 08:55 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Checking for EMPTY tag   Hi everybody,              I have the following tags.               <stdudent>                         <name>Bhaskar</name>                         <age>25</age>                         <college>MSRIT</college>             </student>               <stdudent>                         <name>Appu</name>                         <age></age>                         <college>RVCE</college>             </student>               Since age tag of second is empty.
