RE: [xsl] Conditional display of dates

[Jeff Beadle <Jbeadle at manh dot com>]

you could try this:

<xsl:if test="( not( //Record[Name='ORIGINAL'] ) )
		   or
		  ( //Record[Name='ORIGINAL']//Date[.=''] )">

Copy Date: <xsl:value-of select="//Record[Name='COPY']//Date"/>;

</xsl:if>

Subject: [xsl] Conditional display of dates


I am trying to display a date.  I need to display the "Original Date" if it 
is returned.  If a Record with Name = ORIGINAL does not exist or the record 
with Name = ORIGINAL exists but a date for that record does not, I need to 
display the "Copy Date" (Name = COPY).  I am having difficulty doing this.  
When I try to write the XSL, I either end up displaying no date or two 
dates, so I know that it is not correct.  Any suggestions?

Here is my xml:

<RecordSet>
    <Record>
	<Name>ORIGINAL</Name>
	<RecordHistorySet>
		<RecordHistory>
			<Date>14-Apr-2001</Date>
		</RecordHistory>
	</RecordHistorySet>
    </Record>
    <Record>
	<Name>COPY</Name>
	<RecordHistorySet>
		<RecordHistory>
			<Date>17-Apr-2001</Date>
		</RecordHistory>
	</RecordHistorySet>
    </Record>
    <Record>
	<Name>HARDCOPY</Name>
	<RecordHistorySet>
		<RecordHistory>
			<Date>15-Apr-2001</Date>
		</RecordHistory>
	</RecordHistorySet>
    </Record>
</RecordSet>

Thanks,
Katie
