RE: [xsl] Invalid characters in xsl:element

["Jason Macki" <jmacki@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the response, Mike.

However, when I try the following:

	<xsl:element name="{substring-before(substring-after(.
,'!'),'!')}">
	</xsl:element>

I get the following message:
	To create nodes of type 'ELEMENT', a valid name must be
specified.

Thanks,
Jason

p.s. My parser is MSXML version 3.

You need curly brackets around the expression:
xsl:element name="{...}"
