Hey folks,
First timer on the list here...
i could have swore I had seen this in the XLS FAQ before it was
re-organized on its new domain, but after a half hour of hunting, I
cannot find the answer.
Is there a way I can check if a TAG in the XML data exists or not, even
though the possibly existing TAG will not have any value?
Background is... in this instance everything would be hidden.
<RESTRICTED_FIELD_LIST>
<HIDE_OFFICE_ALL />
<HIDE_HOME_ALL />
</RESTRICTED_FIELD_LIST>
But in this instance ALL the Office info would be hidden while only the
Home Address info would be hidden.
<RESTRICTED_FIELD_LIST>
<HIDE_OFFICE_ALL />
<HIDE_HOME_ADDRESS />
</RESTRICTED_FIELD_LIST>
The HIDE_HOME_ALL is no longer in the data.
Can I check to see if a TAG exists or not?

but he appreciated her warning."
