Re: Does name exist

From: "tshad" <toms@----.--->
To: NULL
Date: 8/5/2009 12:31:00 PM
I figured out how to do this by:

   <source>
      <xsl:if test="../../FIELDS/HEADER">
            <xsl:value-of select="../../FIELDS/HEADER"/>
      </xsl:if>
      <xsl:if test="../../FIELDS/*[name() = 
concat('TITLE',current()/@NUM)]">
             <xsl:value-of select="../../FIELDS/*[name() = 
concat('TITLE',current()/@NUM)]"/>
       </xsl:if>
   </source>

But what I found that when both exists, it concatenates the 2nd test with 
the first so that I end up with:


Subject Photo PageThis is Title1
Subject Photo Page
Subject Photo PageThis is Title3

How do you tell it to delete what is there (in the 1st and 3rd case) and put 
the new value there.?

I could put 2 tests in the first part, but I would prefer to write out the 
Headers text and if the 2nd test passes to overwrite what the Header test 
put there.  So I would end up with:

This is Title1
Subject Photo Page
This is Title3

Thanks,

Tom
