[xsl] Testing if an element has an attribute

[marc dot harrington at nebula dot ie]

Hi all,

Does anyone know how to test if an element has an attribute?

I have an element person which may or may not contain an attribute name.

<person name="John">
<person >

I want to create a new element for each <person> , that has the name
attribute.

I'm currently trying the following

<xsl:template match="person">
 <xsl:if @name != "">                                            // this
line is causing the problem
  <xsl:element name="{@name}">
     <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:if>
 </xsl:element>
</xsl:template >

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Marc
