Hi Bryan,
Please try this XSL -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="node()">
<xsl:variable name="flag">
<xsl:for-each select="@*">
<xsl:if test="normalize-space(.) != ''">
1
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:if test="normalize-space(.) != ''">
1
</xsl:if>
<xsl:for-each select="descendant::*">
<xsl:for-each select="@*">
<xsl:if test="normalize-space(.) != ''">
1
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:if test="normalize-space(.) != ''">
1
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:if test="contains(normalize-space($flag),
'1')">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:for-each select="@*">
<xsl:attribute name="{name()}">
<xsl:value-of select="." />
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Initially, sorry for the code seeming long. But it's
a bit of a follow up to
yesterdays questions (which I solved thanks to
y'alls help).
Ok, so I have an XML file, where I can have any
number of nodes, which can
have any number of Children (and they can have
children and so on).
Basically, I want to strip a node if it or it's
children has no data, or has
no attributes with data anywhere in it's
descendants.
I sort of get the logic, but fail miserably to even
consider how to fix it
so that the last example works (Checkbox 6) - ie.
Stripping a tree half way
down.
ANY help would be great.
Thanks ALot
Bryan.
P.S. the number of children in the example is not
overkill, there will
usually be at least 4 - sorry.
