Thanks Oleg,

but how have I to use it. I'm having a stylesheet like

<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-8" indent="no"/>
  <xsl:template match="/">
	<tag><xsl:value-of select="othertag"/></tag>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Sometimes isn't there a <othertag> in the input-xml-file. So I get <tag/> in
the output. But this is that I don't want to have.

Uwe
