How to handle Missing Child Element

I have an XML want and output in HTML so using and XSL for that. The XML file i am using

<property ref="1">
<units>
<unit ref="1">first floor</unit>
<unit ref="2">second floor</unit>
<unit ref="3">third floor</unit>
<unit ref="4">fourth floor</unit>
</units>
<leases>
<lease ref="1">OPEN</lease>
<lease ref="2">CLOSE</lease>
<lease ref="3">OPEN</lease>
</leases>
</property>

Not entirely sure what you're doing

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<xsl:template match="unit">

  <tr>

    <td><xsl:value-of select="."/></td>

    <xsl:variable name="lease">

      <xsl:choose>

        <xsl:when test="//lease[@ref = current()/@ref]"/>

          <xsl:value-of select="//lease[@ref = current()/@ref]"/>

        </xsl:when>

        <xsl:otherwise>not found</xsl:otherwise>

      </xsl:choose>

     </xsl:variable>

    <td><xsl:value-of select="$lease"/></td>

  </tr>

</xsl:template>

You have helped me with removing the last line, thanks for the help.

Now my requirement has changed bit further.

Presently my O/p is as below:

first floor OPEN
second floor CLOSE
third floor OPEN
fourth floor not found

Now I want to show O/p:

first floor OPEN

with
Prev. & Next Button
On click of them will move to

second floor CLOSE

with
Prev. & Next Button
On click of them will move to

third floor OPEN

Simillarly till the last record.

I can't understand ur problem clearly. But try like this

<xsl:if text="unit[@ref]">
<xsl:value-of select="@ref"/>
</xsl:if>

<xsl:if text="lease[@ref]">
<xsl:value-of select="@ref"/>
</xsl:if>
