Trying to get to write out text when no results are found from xml feed

[prichardson]

My search function presents the results fine but when there are no results then rather than having the blank white screen, I would like to have it to say, "Sorry, there are no results.".I tried put an Choose - When & Otherwise on the property name - so if property name empty then write "Sorry, ..." otherwise display name. I thought that would work, but maybe i need to do it around the entire template? Would putting something around the entire block of code (what would i use- when & otherwise ? or something else? )

<xsl:template match="/">	<xsl:for-each select="xxx/xxx/property">  ................................................	</xsl:for-each></xsl:template>

Cheers

If you need to do that, split your template in two and only apply the template when needed. For example:

<xsl:template match="/">	<xsl:choose>		<xsl:when test="/xxx/xxx/property">			<xsl:apply-templates/>		</xsl:when>		<xsl:otherwise>Sorry, no properties.		</xsl:otherwise>	</xsl:choose></xsl:template><xsl:template match="/xxx/xxx/property">................................................</xsl:template>
