hi, i need to generate the full xpath name (location) for attributes in the following xsl (see below).

instead of using <xsl:attribute name="name"><xsl:value-of select="name()"/></xsl:attribute> which gets me the just the attribute (field) name, i would like to generate the full xpath expression from the root of the document (i guess it would look something like: /......./Node/SingleForces@attribute_name). i.e. what do i use in instead of: <xsl:value-of select="name()"/> to get the fully qualified name for this field from the root.

thanks

<xsl:template match="Node/SingleForces">
<td>
<xsl:for-each select="@*">
<xsl:element name="label">
<xsl:attribute name="for"><xsl:value-of select="name()"/></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
</xsl:element>
<xsl:element name="input">
<xsl:attribute name="type">text</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="size">4</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="id"><xsl:value-of select="name()"/></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="name"><xsl:value-of select="name()"/></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="value"><xsl:value-of select="."/></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:for-each>
</td>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
