Testing for an attribute existence?

Dear Folks -

What would be the expression of testing for an attribute existence?

For example I'd like to test if the "link" is present in the "Entry" node:

<Entry link="test.htm">Test</Entry>

Thanks,
Gabster

You can simply use @link in a boolean context e.g. assuming an Entry element is your context node then

Code:

<xsl:if test="@link">

checks whether it has link attribute or

Code:

<xsl:apply-templates select="Entry[@link]"/>

processes all Entry elements which have a link attribute.
