Thank you, Ken. As you can see, I'm quite new. - Maria -----Original Message----- From: owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of G.

Remember that you are constructing the result tree and there are four ways of adding attribute nodes to the result tree, (1) - xsl:use-attribute-sets= (2) - attribute specifications in a literal result element (3) - <xsl:attribute> (4) - <xsl:copy-of> For the attributes of any given element, the priority is (1), (2), (3 and 4 in stylesheet order). The result tree isn't completed for a given set of attributes until content is defined for the element in which the attributes are used. As soon as content is defined, the set of attribute nodes cannot be changed. I hope this helps. ................................
