XSL:IF

[LisaDi]

Hi,
In my XML file, I have multiple 'Job' nodes. Within that node, there
is an 'Award' item. Not every job has an 'Award' populated. :-(

When I output this in XSL, I would like to use an IF statement to
only print the Award row if it's not blank. (I'd like to format this
with a list item, and not have a list item display w/o any data by
it.)

Can someone please point me in the direction of some tutorials/syntax
help for this? I've seen a few snippets of code for checking for the
position of an item, but not for if > 0.

Thanks!
Lisa

If I understand you correctly, it should be as simple as

<xsl:if test="Award">
