How do I test for empty XML Node ?

[Freestyle MD]

if (selectedImage.detail != "")

works with
<image detail="">
</image>

but not

<image>
<detail></detail>
</image>


Hope that makes sense to someone, can't really think how to explain it any
better, I'm sure it's a simple enough thing

I am not clear. Are you trying to find the detail nodes where the text node is empty?

If so, try:
if (selectedImage.detail.text().length() == 0)

Also look at hasChildren() and hasSimpleContent()

Yes - so that I can explicitly ignore them.

Seems that all I needed to do was if(!selectedImage.detail)


Thanks for replying - despite my not knowing how to phrase the question.
