RE: determining if one or more instances of a child are present in the current node element

2003-09-18 00:25:23
Hmm.. is that so ?

Because my current node will be <Paragraph> and not <paraitem>.

Also, it can have other elements as children. So I need to have a
specific "test" that checks if that child exists before APPLYING
stylesheets for that child.

<Paragraph>
        <ParaItem>
        <ParaItem>
        <ParaItem>
....
<Paragraph>

Let me know :). Is there a better expression to check if the current
NODE (paragraph) contains ATLEAST one child PARAITEM.

:)

Thanks,

present in the current node element

Hi,

<xsl:if test="count(child::*[name()=('ParaItem')]) &gt;=1"> 
<!-- Check if this expression is correct -->

Is this expression correct in being able to determine if the current
node has one or more instances of the child ParaItem?

Yes, but the easies way would be just to test with

  <xsl:if test="ParaItem"/>
