Well, delete the '@' and it works for tags too :) -----Original Message----- From: Beer, Christian [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, 30 November 2001 8:10 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: AW: AW: Non existent tag error...
Hi Darren! That's not completely righ. Your tests check if the attribute named "tagname" exists, not the tag named "tagname". Christian -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Darren Munt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 29. November 2001 23:18 An: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Betreff: RE: AW: Non existent tag error... I've found that the test needs to encompass three possibilities: 1. That the tag is not present; 2. That the tag is empty (ie. tagname=''), or; 3. That the tag is present and contains a value. If you use test="@tagname", the test will be true in cases 2 and 3. However, if you use test="not(@tagname='')" (or test="@tagname!=''") then it will only be true for case 3, at least this is the case with the parser I use. So it depends on whether or not you want different behaviour when the tag is missing than you want when the tag is present but empty. -----Original Message----- From: bryan hansen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, 30 November 2001 2:09 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: AW: Non existent tag error... I did not solve the problem, I was going to add the line that I said oops on in the original message, sorry for the confusion. I will try this and see if it works.
