RE: Choose Test for Emtpy element

I am performing a CHOOSE | WHERE | OTHERWISE ... the test for 
this choose is
to see whether or not my @AvailableInventory is '' (empty).  
It doesn't seem
to work, but indeed there is no real value in this attribute. 
 I'm thinking
it is padded with spaces.  So how would I perform my test, 
but trim all the
spaces... or is there another test for "Empty"?

If you might have whitespace in the attribute value, just get rid of it
using normalize-space() - 

<xsl:when test="normalize-space(@availableInventory)=''">

Cheers,

Tom P
