Hi Brian

Could you post the XSLT you're currently working on? It will make it easier to help you out.

Cheers,
Jan 

Hi Brian,

It goes like this:

To check if an element is present (i.e. actually exists in the XML):

<xsl:if test="$currentPage[imageCredits]">

To make sure it isn't empty (null, contains only whitespace etc.):

<xsl:if test="$currentPage[normalize-space(imageCredits)]">

If the opposite test makes more sense to read at that point in your code, use the not() function, e.g.:

<xsl:if test="not($currentPage[imageCredits])">

<xsl:if test="$currentPage[not(normalize-space(imageCredits))]">

Ask away if you have other scenarios that doesn't work for you!

Cheers guys,

That kinda makes sense to me (like I say, I am an XSLT newby!!).  Here is the code that I have so far, like I say I only want to display the info if something has been entered into the imageCredits field on the article.
