Subject: Re: [xsl] Copying a document except specific root attribute From: Jon Gorman <jonathan.gorman@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 13 Jun 2005 10:24:57 -0500 |

Additionally, I have a rule like: > > <xsl:template match="/@myRootAttribute"/> Of course it's ignoring that attribute. It can't exist ;). / designates document root, the parent of the document element. See XPATH 1.0: "/ selects the document root (which is always the parent of the document element)" So say your xml looks like: <root> <foo> ... </foo> <bar> ... </bar> </root> What you are asking for is equivalent to saying, I want the @myRootAttribute of the parent of root. What I think you mean to say is: <xsl:template match="/root/@myRootAttribute"/> which would match the attribute below in the root element. <root @myRootAttribute="spiffy"> <foo>...</foo> </root> Of course, this more involved if by the root attribute you actually mean the namespace that is declared there. Is this the case? Jonathan Gorman
