Evenin' all...
i think my brain has finally turned to mush, so if anyone can help with
this...
i have an xml document with the following sort of structure:
<booking>
<generalinfo index="1">some text</generalinfo>
<generalinfo index="2">some more text</generalinfo>
<generalinfo index="3">even more text</generalinfo>
</booking>
if there has been no text entered the first value is defaulted to '//'
with the second two being random gibberish. what i want to do is test to
see if the first field is '//' and if so not show anything, otherwise
show the text.
i've managed to get either nothing or everything so far, which i think is
a problem with matching the //'s. i've tried escaping them with \'s so
you would have something like:
<xsl:if test="//booking/generalinfo != '\/\/'">
and various variations on that theme...and i always get either everything
or nothing regardless of what the data is.
anyone any ideas??
and as a final question, has anyone got any recommendation for xml site
that give *good* examples of the various bits?? most of them i've come
across seem to stop at a rather basic level.
thanks for any help,
darren.
