Thanks David, Wow, that saves a lot of typing! I believe this works as follows: 1. the select in copy-of returns a node-set in document order. At this point the node set has duplicate attribute names. 2. when copy-of applies these attributes to the output element, the duplication is removed by succeeding attribute nodes overwriting the values of any attributes that are already present. This all seems awfully convenient! (But I'm not complaining :) Regards, Adam > From: David Carlisle > > >I am trying to write some XSLT to do the following: > > > >1. start at element E > >2. add all its attributes to the output > >3. move to E's parent, EP > >4. add to the output all those attributes > > of EP that do not have the same name as > > as an attribute already added to the output > >5. move to EP's parent and so on collecting > > new attributes until I've reached the last > > ancestor of P. > > this is a ___lot___ easier than you think:-) > > <xsl:copy-of select="ancestor-or-self::*/@*"/> > > does exactly that. > > David > XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
