Hi,

The "or" operator is part of the XPath spec.  Your test would be done as
below.

Also note that the "=" and "eq" operators are not equivalent and it's a good
idea to get into the habit of using them correctly.
...
<xsl:if test="myfield/field_is_available/data eq 'Yes' or
myfield/seconsfield_is_available/data eq 'Yes'">

Indeed, given the semantics of '=' (for node value comparison) and '|' (union operation over node sets or sequences) this could be refactored:

<xsl:if test="(myfield/field_is_available/data |
               myfield/seconsfield_is_available/data) = 'Yes'">

or, in XPath 2.0:

myfield/(field_is_available|seconsfield_is_available)/data = 'Yes'

Cheers,
Wendell
