The first is fine. > http://www.wrox.com/dynamic/books/errata.aspx?isbn=1861003129 The same error exists in the first edition (p. 156); according to the copyright page the latest reprint was July 2000, and I bought mine in February 2001 (mere weeks before the 2nd Edition was published), so apparently it wasn't caught until after 2nd Edition came out. (You're correct, however, that it isn't listed as an erratum for the first edition--should it be reported for completeness' sake?) But it's also a very trivial example, which I think is Michael's point. Ironically, I've come across code at work that does just this; apparently the programmer assumed that in order to use conditional attributes, the entire element must be constructed using xsl:element/xsl:attribute. I'm also experiencing selective amnesia in recalling who that programmer was. ;-) b. | brian martinez brian.martinez@xxxxxxxx | | lead gui programmer 303.708.7248 | | trip network, inc. fax 303.790.9350 | | 6436 s. racine cir. englewood, co 80111 | | http://www.cheaptickets.com/ http://www.trip.com/ | XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
