Using xsl stylesheet with List View Web Part to display custom text

Question

Hi 
i have an xsl stylesheet with sharepoint listview webpart. The list view shows some items based on a filter. I want to display custom text such as "No Items" when there are zero items in the list view using the xsl stylesheet. How do i achieve
this. I have spent hours searching but couldnt find the exact answer. Please help me out. I am a light user not a hard core developer so I dont use Visual Studio. Thanks in advance

Hi 
I have customised the list view webpart using a custom xsl file by including it in the xsl link of the list view webpart. So i think i need to include the condition in the xsl file itself else it wont work. Since the list view webpart isnt using the default
xsl. Please let me kknow if you have any idea about including a condition in xsl to check if there are not items in view. 
The code of the xsl is included below.
