Hi.
Someone was kind enough last week to explain how to check for the presence
of an element.
What I would like to know is how to carry out certain translations ONLY if
an element is NOT present in the XML.
For example, suppose I had a tree like:
<details>
<element1>blah blah</element1>
<element2>yada yada</element2>
</details>
I want to perform a certain translation only if <element2> is NOT a part of
the data. For example, I would then spit out a message saying "Element 2
details are currently not available".
How would I go about doing this?
TIA,
Madhu
