Re: RE: [xsl] Simple XML transformation advice needed

[Peter Dalmaris <Peter.P.Dalmaris@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Kenny,

yes, it works fine on the command line when using the Saxon parser. When I apply the stylesheet in my Java application using the Xerces parser (org.apache.xerces.jaxp) it gives me this error:

file:///E:/docos/transform.xsl; Line #8; Column #2; Cannot add attribute TextAlignment after child nodes or before an element is produced.  Attribute will be ignored.

I am pretty sure it is the Java parser that is causing the problem. So the question is, which parser implements the standard XSLT specification? If Xerces is a good standard parser, how can I modify my XSLT file to run with it?

Thanks again,

Peter
