Hi, I was hoping to use the :empty CSS3 selector in XXE to emulate the behaviour of the Docbook 5 stylesheets when formatting empty "link" elements. If the element contains text content, this should be displayed as the link text. If the element is empty, the link URL should be displayed instead.
I tried using @namespace xlink "http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";; link[xlink|href]:empty { content: attr(xlink|href); color: gray; } With links in the form <link xlink:href="http://MySite.com"; /> <link xlink:href="http://MySite.com";>My Site</link> neither link is matched, and I just get the default XXE styling with an empty text node. If I remove the :empty selector then both links are matched, and the content is replaced by the URL. The CSS3 spec says that "In terms of the DOM, only element nodes and text nodes (including CDATA nodes and entity references) whose data has a non-zero length must be considered as affecting emptiness", so empty text content should allow a match. Am I right in thinking that XXE doesn't support the :empty selector on elements where the content model includes text? Regards Rob Smith
