Is there a neat way of dropping certain (zero) values from an HTML list ?
Without resorting to JavaScript.

Thank you.

You need to use JavaScript to manipulate the form element.

Thanks, Eric. I was hoping there'd be a DYNAMIC HTML tag that would do the job.

HTML and CSS as well.
<ul>
<li> .... { <$BlogItemCommentCount$> != 0 } >/li>
</ul>
That's all I want.
There ought to be something brief to cover this sort of requirement.

I admit what I have written up there would be a nightmareto maintain if allowed but there must be something....

Hi Helen,

How are the zeroes getting into your list in the first place? Can't you filter them out at that point?

Hello there, Jules.

The list is a summary of a sub-item counts. If an item has no sub-items the list currently displays the zero counts as well. I just want a list of where there are sub-items. But it looks as though I'll have to use Javascript.

Thanks.
