How to check if a node has no children with XSLT

[joshk]

Hello!
I need some help figuring out an XPath expression that can go in the match of this template to only match with nodes that have no children. I've tried a couple different things, but am drawing blanks. Here is the snippet of the code that is dealing with this issue:

<xsl:template match="<!---- HELP -->">
      <tr class="data_row">
          <td"><xsl:value-of select="@name" /></td>
          <td><xsl:value-of select="@qty" /></td>
          <td><xsl:value-of select="@total-sales" /></td>
          <td><xsl:value-of select="@cog" /></td>
          <td><xsl:value-of select="@profit" /></td>
          <td><xsl:value-of select="@gross-margin" /></td>
      </tr>
      <xsl:apply-templates>
              <xsl:sort select="@profit" order="descending" data-type="number"/>
      </xsl:apply-templates>
 

Thanks in advance for the help!

May I refer you to this site for the time being? http://www.w3schools.com/xpath/xpath_nodes.asp. I could be adding other sites of interest. Please let us know if you found helpful...

Thank you for suggesting that link. However, I already read up on the W3schools tutorials on both xslt and xpath and still have been unable to discern the appropriate way to match a node with no children. Any other suggestions?

not(node())

Or if you just want no child elements,
not(*)

So an element node without child elements is:
*[not(*)]

Perfect. Thanks so much for your help in solving this one!
