RE: Flagging for No records found?

2004-02-11 01:20:59
Hi,

I am trying to implement some logic to see if my XSL code 
found, and then
displayed, any records. Try as I may I cannot find a clean 
way to do this. I
cannot set a flag, nor can I increment a count when I find a 
record so I
don't know how else to trap this. If no records meet the 

If you're trying to change the value of a variable, you're out of luck in XSLT.

criteria then I'd
simply like to output a 'No Records Found' message.

The code below is an extract from the XSL, if I don't display 
any results
then at the end I want to print 'No records found'.

Any ideas? Thanks!

  <xsl:template match="/">

     <xsl:for-each select="xdql/object/content/content_chunk">

      <xsl:sort select="content_link"/>

      <xsl:choose>

       <xsl:when test="((product = $product) or ($product = 'All'))">

         <!-- I need to know if I ever got here .... -->

xsl:message for debugging messages is always useful.
 
           <a>
            <xsl:attribute name="href"><xsl:value-of
select="content_link/@ref"/></xsl:attribute>
            <xsl:value-of select="content_link"/>
           </a>

           <br/>


       </xsl:when>
      </xsl:choose>

     </xsl:for-each>

     <!-- Print 'no records found' if nothing passed the ;when

<xsl:if test="not(xdql/object/content/content_chunk)">
  <xsl:text>no records found</xsl:text>
<xsl:if>

You might want to store the "xdql/object/content/content_chunk" node-set into a 
variable for performance.
