xsl:choose

[Ruthless]

Hello.

I've got a question about xsl:choose

I've got an element <person> with the sequence of
<first_name><last_name><date_bith> and <info>

and the info is not obligatory(minOccurs="0")

When i'm translating my XML document i've got blank cell(in table) when there is no <info> element

I've written sth like this:

<xsl:when test="info=''">
[non info]
</xsl:when>
<xsltherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="info"/>
</xsltherwise>
</xsl:choose>

It displays the value of <info> when it is in document and where it's not it still displays blank space.

I konow that i'm testing only if info is empty("") not if info exists.

How can I check if the info is present and display it content and if doesn'y exist display [non info] msg?

thanx in advance
greetings R

Use:
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="not(info)">
[non info]
</xsl:when>
<xsltherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="info"/>
</xsltherwise>
</xsl:choose>
