Hi,
my problem is different, I need to match a node that have NOT a
particular attribute.
test="not(@attribute)"
Imagine a sequance of node of the same type which can have
attributes or not.
I need to perform a first match and if an particular attribute is
absent I will have to perform a second match, otherwise the first
match is enough.
For example:
<A>
<B a="a">hello2</B>
<B a="a" b="b">hello3</B>
<B>hello1</B>
<B b="b">hello4</B>
</A>
I match the first two "B" nodes as is (the XSLT rewrite them without
translating)
for the third "B" node, since it lacks the "a" attribute, the XSLT
will perform a second match looking for the next "B" node.
If you're walking through the B elements one at a time, then
<xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::B[(_at_)a or @b][1]"/>
I.e. select the first following sibling that has either "a" or "b" attribute.
Use not() if you want negation of the test result.

Is it possible to match the absence of an attribute with xsl?

Hi,
Try this:
<xsl:if test="@id">
<!-- do something if attribute id exists -->
</xsl:if>

how to match the absence of a particular attribute
02:28 PM
Please
respond to
xsl-list
Hi guys,
how can I test the presence of a particular attribute of a
node in an
"if" or "choose" tag?
I need to drive the behavior of the translation in two
different ways,
if an attribute exists or not. I suppose the key point is the
capability to match the absence of an attribute, but I have found no
way to do this.
Thank you very much for any help.
