[xsl] Simple XSL question

[P Vikram <vikram_good_boy at yahoo dot com>]

Hi All

I am populating two JS arrays.Earlier i was using two
separate xsl file and now iam trying to consolidate
both files into one.

The xml strings are
1)<firstnode><ARRAY1ID>01</ARRAY1ID></firstnode>
2)<firstnode><ARRAY2ID>02</ARRAY2ID></firstnode>

Iam getting arrays
Array1IDarray["01"]
Array2IDarray[]

Array1IDarray[]
Array2IDarray["02"]

The XSL is

<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="text" />
<xsl:template match="firstnode">
	ARRAY1IDarray = [
	<xsl:apply-templates select="//ARRAY1IDARRAY"/>
	]
	ARRAY2IDarray = [
	<xsl:apply-templates select="//ARRAY2IDARRAY"/>
	]
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="ARRAY1IDARRAY">
	
    "<xsl:value-of select="ARRAY1ID"/>"<xsl:if
test="position()!=last()">,</xsl:if>

</xsl:template>


<xsl:template match="ARRAY2IDARRAY">
	"<xsl:value-of select="ARRAY2ID"/>"<xsl:if
test="position()!=last()">,</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

How to get only the relevant array by still keeping
the topmost node in both cases as <firstnode>(i dont
want the zero size arrays).

Any Ideas/Pointers will be very usefull.


Thanks In Advance

Vikram
