RE: Search and Replace in XSLT

["ciaran byrne" <ciaran.byrne@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks all for the help,
	It seems that the general consensus is that

<xsl:element name="....."> should be used. I have a few concerns
about this approach however:

1. Does this mean that the "tag" element becomes a child element of "img"

img
|
|_ _ tag

I want to include the tag element but not the img element in my output XML,
so that when I get <img src="x.bmp" alt="[tag]"> then the output is just
<tag/> ( sorry, I didn't specify that before !!)

2. How can I maipulate the case where I'd have mutiple attributes with
values
e.g.
<img src="x.bmp" alt="[tag1 value=tag1]Some text[tag2 value=tag2]"/>

The reason I use '[' and ']' is that '<' and '>' can't reside inside the
attribute.

FYI - the reason I'm taking this approach is that in my MSHTML editor I
can't handle
unknown tags, so I was thinking of using a placeholder image with the "alt"
value
containing the XML markup that can't be recognised. Then when going back to
XML,
I recognise the image as a placeholder and extract from the "alt" attribute
the
XML markup and display as such. I'm open to any other ideas on this approach
!!

Look into <xsl:element name="tag"/>
