contains() tests for substring. If you set the substring to test for to
'', the test is also evaluated to true. Furthermore an "else" exists in
XSLT, but not for <xsl:if>, but <xsl:choose> and <xsl:when>. You can use
multiple (exclusive) <xsl:when>s and <xsl:otherwise>.
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="string(@value)">
the value of @value is: <xsl:value-of select="@value"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="not(@value)">
<!-- no @value found -->
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="not(string(@value))">
There is nothing to see
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>

I'm trying to test for a value of nothing for with
XSL. I understand there are no 'else' statements
available in xsl so I'm trying to get this to work. I
thought using the not function would work but so far
the only output I'm getting is from the 1st nested if
statement
Here are my if statements:
<xsl:if test="@value">
<xsl:if test="@value[contains(.,
'')]">
There is nothing to see
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="@value[not(contains(.,
''))]">
<xsl:value-of
select="."/>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:if>
