XSL Problem

[Shanmugam Muthukumarasamy]

Hi All,
I have the following situation, in this if count(request) > 0 , I am showing the relevant details on the screen or if not, I have to show the message like " You have no file...." that. In the following xsl code:
if the condition is true, I am appliying the template "requests". This is working fine.
If the condigion is false, I am appliying the template "emptyrequest", this template is not at all showing to me...I am just getting the empty page.
If any one have the solution...Please let me know
Thanks in advance,
Shanmugam.

I'm not sure, but I'd start by making sure the test conditions are producing the logic you want.
Try using a message (xsl:message) to print the value of "count(request)" and "count(request) > 0". I'll bet that this is not working. If the result is always true, you would get the result you see.
