The set of nodes that satisfy the condition is automatically converted to a boolean value; only an empty set is considered to be false: <xsl:if test="./*[starts-with(name(), 'ERR')]"> <!-- do something for a node with errors --> </xsl:if> http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#section-Conditional-Processing-with-xsl:if http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#function-boolean I'm not an expert either, so here's my followup question: what is the point of specifying "./" in the above expression? -- Kevin Rodgers
