hi,
I want to ask a basic Question.
I have to check weather a particular node exist in the XML file ..
 how can i check in XSLT..

thanks
Abhishek

Assuming that EXP is a path expression that would select the node if it existed, you can write

<xsl:if test="EXP">
   ... the node exists
</xsl:if>

i have one more problem when i apply my xslt on a xml document.

I want they should come tike <Code></Code>.

is there any way to do this...

"<Code/>" and "<Code></Code>" (and for that matter "<Code />") are completely equivalent in XML, so you can't distinguish them on input or control which representation is used on output. There's no reason to, because any recipient of the XML will treat them identically.
