Display section of code only when there is a related article
i am using the following to display the related articles
<h2>Related Articles</h2>
<div id=“related_articles”>
<txp:related_articles limit=“5” break=“li” wraptag=“ul”/>
</div>
however when there is no related article to display you still see the <h2>Related Articles</h2> on the page
is there a way to only display this section of code if there are related articles?

Remove the <h2> part from the template and add it in the article form:
<txp:if_different><h2>Related Articles</h2></txp:if_different>Because of the if_different tag, it is only displayed the first time.

Label and labeltag attributes looks like the right way.

<txp:related_articles limit=“5” break=“li” wraptag=“ul” label=“Related Articles” labeltag=“h2” />

Just in case anyone else comes across this problem as well
In FF the empty divs were fine however in IE6 empty divs had a mind of their own and seemed to have a default height for some reason.
I found that if i put a comment box inside the empty div .i.e
<div id=“related_articles”>
<!— ***** IMPORTANT MAKES DIV HIDE IN IE WHEN EMPTY ***** —>
<txp:related_articles limit=“5” break=“li” wraptag=“ul” label=“Related Articles” labeltag=“h2” />
</div>
Then the div would hide correctly in IE6

You could do this with chh_if_data
<txp:chh_if_data>
<div id="related_articles">
<txp:related_articles limit="5" break="li" wraptag="ul" label="Related Articles" labeltag="h2" />
</div>
</txp:chh_if_data>to avoid empty divs.
