Hi Folks,
I wrote an XSLT program that evaluates a series of B elements, to see which are empty. The XSLT program tests
each B element using this XPath expression: not(node())
and
not(@*)
Here are the results:
|
|
Is empty?
|
|
<B/>
|
true
|
|
<B></B>
|
true
|
|
<B>&null;</B>
|
true
|
|
<B>
</B>
|
false
|
|
<B><!-- Hello, world
--></B>
|
false
|
|
<B><bad/></B>
|
false
|
|
<B>99</B>
|
false
|
|
<B x="10"/>
|
false
|
The XPath seems to be returning results that are consistent with my definition of “empty element.”
