element-available

The element-available function determines if an element is available and returns true or false.

Syntax

Parameters

• QName
  • : Must evaluate to a valid QName. The QName is expanded into an expanded-name using the namespace declarations in scope for the expression.

Return value

Returns true if and only if the expanded-name is the name of an instruction. If the expanded-name has a namespace URI equal to the XSLT namespace URI, then it refers to an element defined by XSLT.
