Subject: test if a node exists...


Hello everybody,

I am trying to test the existance of a node in an XML document like this :

XML:
<list>
    <fr/>
    <gr/>
</list>

XSL template for list:
<xsl:if test="name()=fr">
then do something.

If the node fr is a child of list then do something... but this won't work.
Any ideas?

Jean
