Hi,
I'm working on someone else's code at the moment, and the author uses this construction very often:
I *think* what he's trying to do is to test if anElement is empty or not, and act accordingly.
But couldn't you rewrite that as
(as someone suggested a few threads ago)?
Or does the string-length() method check for something that the second method doesn't cover?
[xsl] XSLT: question re testing for possibly empty elements

Hi,
I'm working on someone else's code at the moment, and the author uses this construction very often:
<xsl:when test="string-length(anElement) > 0"> statements <xsl:otherwise> 'else' statements
I *think* what he's trying to do is to test if anElement is empty or not, and act accordingly.
But couldn't you rewrite that as
<xsl:when test="anElement"> ... <xsl:otherwise> ...
(as someone suggested a few threads ago)?
Or does the string-length() method check for something that the second method doesn't cover?
Thanks, Ralph
