XSLT template doesn't fetch the child nodes. please review the following XSLT template and let me know the favourable solution


[u]XSLT Template:</u>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" method="xml" indent="yes" cdata-section-elements="script" />
  <xsl:template match="node() | @*">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="node() | @*"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>
  <xsl:template match="p">
            <xsl:if test="(@*) or (translate(text(),' ','')!='') and (normalize-space(translate(text(),' ',''))!='')">
                        <xsl:copy>
                                    <xsl:apply-templates select="node() | @*"/>
                        </xsl:copy>
            </xsl:if>
 </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

[u]Sample XML:</u>

<ContentTwo>
<p>
<span class="066453318-09032007">
<span class="Custom_Bold">What is the Risk Management Information Services (RMIS) Division?
</span> The RMIS Division of Claim Services is a team of insurance and technology professionals dedicated to providing policyholders of member companies with products and services to meet their information needs.
</span>
</p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
</ContentTwo>

[u]Actual Output:</u>

<ContentTwo/>

[u]Expected Output:</u>

<ContentTwo>
<p>
<span class="066453318-09032007">
<span class="Custom_Bold">What is the Risk Management Information Services (RMIS) Division?
</span> The RMIS Division of Claim Services is a team of insurance and technology professionals dedicated to providing policyholders of member companies with products and services to meet their information needs.
</span>
</p>
</ContentTwo>

You're only outputting a <p> element if the following condition is true:

<xsl:if test="(@*) or (translate(text(),' ','')!='') and (normalize-space(translate(text(),' ',''))!='')">


The first part @* is false for all three p elements because none of them have attributes.

The second part (translate(text(),' ','')!='') is false for all three p elements because none of them has a non-whitespace text node as a child.

Perhaps your intent was to test the string value of the <p> element rather than looking only at its immediate text nodes? That would be string(.) (or just .) in place of text().
