Re: If nodeset does NOT include

I want to call a template only if a nodeset does
not contain a match for a variable, ie:

<xsl:if test="(.//InqInfo/Member_Id != $listfor)">
  <xsl:call-template
name="Recipbutton">

where != should mean "does not include"

Assuming that you mean that $listfor is the name of an child element of
Member_id, you can use

test='not(.//InqInfo/Member_id/*[name()=$listfor])'

or

test='count(.//InqInfo/Member_id/*[name()=$listfor])=0'

Other variations are possible, depending on exactly what you want to test
for.

You may also want to replace ".//" with some other construction if you need
to get more performance, since ".//" is likely to be slow.  That would only
matter if you have very large files or you need especially fast response
time.

Cheers,

Tom P
