Hi All,
I run into a problem where I'm not able to check whether any of child node
with particular tag name has empty String value.
Here's the XML:
<ATTACHMENT>
<ATTACHMENT_NAME></ATTACHMENT_NAME>
<ATTACHMENT_LINK> http://yahoo.com </ATTACHMENT_LINK>
<ATTACHMENT_NAME> link </ATTACHMENT_NAME>
<ATTACHMENT_LINK> http://msn.com </ATTACHMENT_LINK>
</ATTACHMENT>
The requirement is to do something ANY of the <ATTACHMENT_NAME> elemement
has non-empty String. Here's the XSL I wrote:
<xsl:template match="ATTACHMENT">
<xsl:if
test="string(normalize-space(child::ATTACHMENT_NAME))">
<P>
<B>ATTACHMENT:</B>
<xsl:for-each select="ATTACHMENT_NAME">
<xsl:variable name="href"
select="following-sibling::ATTACHMENT_LINK" />
<a href ="{$href}">
<xsl:apply-templates />
</a>
<br/>
</xsl:for-each>
</P>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
But from the result I got, seems like the decision is only based on the
first <ATTACHMENT_NAME> element it found, and totally ignore the later ones.
i.e. if the first <ATTACHMENT_NAME> has empty String value but the second
one has String value "link" in it, it won't fall into the if block.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
