How do I check for StartTime (the first one in xml doc) and

In my xml there are 2 StartTime one near the top and another one which is the child of CourtSessionBlock. Sometimes, there will only be one StartTime which is the child of CourtSessionBlock. This is why I need to check to see if there is StartTime near the top. If it is there then I will use it. If it is not there, then I will use the one in the CourtSessionBlock. How do I do this? I tried choose but I am not getting any output.
Here is my xml code:

Code: Select all

<Setting ID="21613643" InternalSettingID="1622304543" Date="07/21/2014">
<HearingDate>07/21/2014</HearingDate>
<StartTime>8:30 AM</StartTime>
<EndTime>9:30 AM</EndTime>
<CourtSessionName>Jackie - Doe</CourtSessionName>
<CourtSessionID ID="3177494" InternalCourtSessionID="1612374333"/>
<Calendar Word="05CAL">My County Court</Calendar>
<CalendarBaseCaseCategory>Probate Health</CalendarBaseCaseCategory>
<CourtResource>
<Type Word="JUD">Judicial Officer</Type>
<Code Word="00951B">Jane, Doe</Code>
</CourtResource>
<CourtSessionBlock InternalCourtSessionBlockID="1614615037">
<StartTime>8:30 AM</StartTime>
<EndTime>9:30 AM</EndTime>
</CourtSessionBlock>
<InterpreterNeeded>false</InterpreterNeeded>
<TimestampCreate>07/15/2014 09:27:49:607</TimestampCreate>
</Setting>

Hi,

You can probably use an XPath like (//StartTime)[1] to select the first element in document order from the document.
XSLT specific questions can also be asked on the XSL-List:
