    <p>Just bringing the condition to the expression:</p> <pre><code>//div[@class='pluto'][contains(//div/ul/li[1], "apples")]/text() </code></pre> <p>Will return <code>Sucess</code> only if that contition is met. Otherwise the result will be empty.</p> <p><br> On a side note, what you really seem to search could be simplified:</p> <pre><code>//div[@class='pluto'][contains(ul/li[1], "apples")]/text() </code></pre> <p>Once again, it will only bring results if the <code>contains</code> condition is met.</p> <h2><br></h2> <p>In <strong>XPath 2.0</strong>, on the other hand, if you need a <strong>value depending on your condition</strong> and not the node value itself, you can use a <strong><code>if</code> expression</strong>:</p> <pre><code>if (//div[@class='pluto'][contains(ul/li[1], "apples")]/text()) then 'OK!' else 'NOT OK!' </code></pre> <p>Which will bring the <code>then</code> part (<code>'OK!'</code>) if it finds a match and the <code>else</code> part <code>('NOT OK!')</code> if finds nothing.</p> <h2>Update:</h2> <blockquote> <p>What if I would like to execute another xPath query if the condition is NOT met (kind of like an else-if)?</p> </blockquote> <p>You can put any XPath expression in the <code>then</code> or <code>else</code> part:</p> <pre><code>if (//div[@class='pluto'][contains(ul/li[1], "apples")]/text()) then concat('OK! :',//div/ul/li[1]) else concat('NOT OK! :',//div/ul/li[2]) </code></pre> <h3>If-then-else Using XPath 1.0:</h3> <pre><code>concat( substring(concat('OK! :', //div/ul/li[1]) , 1, number( boolean(count( //div[@class='pluto'][contains(ul/li[1], "apples")]/text() ))) * string-length( concat('OK! :', //div/ul/li[1]) )), substring(concat('NOT OK! :',//div/ul/li[2]) , 1, number(not(boolean(count( //div[@class='pluto'][contains(ul/li[1], "apples")]/text() )))) * string-length( concat('NOT OK! :',//div/ul/li[2]) )) ) </code></pre>

    1. CO+1, Thanks for the reply! What if I would like to execute an different xPath query if the condition is NOT met? (using your first method, not the if-else method)

    3. COThank you! However, the if-then-else statement used is not working b/c I am not on version 2.0 of xPath, I was trying to create an `else`-like condition using your very first method... `//div[@class='pluto'][contains(//div/ul/li[1], "apples")]/text()` I appreciate the help :)

Querying!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
