accessing attributes in xml

Hi all,

I've an xml like:

...
<defaultContactPerson type="PROOF"/>
<defaultContactPerson type="BILL"/>
<defaultContactPerson type="SALES">Hans Friedrich
Mueller</defaultContactPerson>
<defaultContactPerson type="MAIL"/>
<defaultContactPerson type="KEY"/>
....

Now I've to check inside the xsl this:

<xsl:if test="??? //defaultContactPerson@SALES != '' ???">

<!-- do something here if the sales contact isn't empty-->
<xsl:value-of select="??? //defaultContactPerson@SALES ???"/>

</xsl>

Can anyone help me how to check the value for the tag where the attribute is
'SALES' and how to access this value.

ThanX in Advance

cu Torsten

Thanx -> [@type = 'SALES'] was the pointer I'm looking for -> it works well.

I tought @ goes directly to the attribute value, but wherefrom should the
parser know which attribute was meant ;(

{ Thinking is hard, if you've turned off your brain ;) }

    I'd guess

    <xsl:value of select="defaultContactPerson[@type = 'SALES']"/>

    Hope this helps
