XSL File - Displaying Column Header and Data Only If Node Exists
Hi,
I've got a two XML files. One contains a node called <OrganisationHeader>, the other one doesn't. With the Help of Gertone (thanks!) I've now got a stylesheet that will display the XML data in tabular format regardless of the existence or otherwise of the <OrganisationHeader> node.
Now I'm trying to only display those nodes that exist, and with my very limited knowledge of XSL I've manged to make this worj for the actual data. Now I'm trying to do the sdame with the table headers.
Below I've included the two XML files (one with, one without the <OrganisationHeader> node) and the XSL file in its current state. Any advice on how to conditionally show the column headings, based on whether or not the node it referes to exists?
Thanks.
