Subject: Re: [xsl] Screening values from two attribute-sets From: David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2004 22:50:15 GMT |
I'm not sure why this is a faq but it is (come up several times this week already:-) <xsl:variable name="att-name"><xsl:value-of select="name(.)"/></xsl:variable> Dont use xsl:variable with content rather than a selct expression unless you really intend to do this. selct=name() would have made teh variable a string with the name, but as you have it it's a result tree fragment with a root node containing a text node with string value the name. In this case it's just a lot to type and slower to execute but <xsl:variable name="path-name"><xsl:text>@</xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="name(.)"/></xsl:variable> even if you made that a string rather than a result tree fragment it is never going to work select="$path-name" will evaluate to the result tree fragment (or string) '@xxxx' not the result of executing teh Xpath @xxx. This is just the same as C or java or fortran or most other languages if you have a string "x+2" then getting from there to executing that string as a fragment of the language is non trivial and requires writing a parser to parse the string. You could go select="*@[name()=$att-name()] but it seems unlikely that you really want to for-each over all the attributes then have to special case test for each in turn with an xsl:when. I think that you just want to a) start you element b) execute the code that adds all the attributes if no attributes are on your source element c) xsl:apply-templates mode="zzz" select="@*" then you need templates like <xsl:template mode="zzz" match="@margin-right"> <xsl:copy-of select="."/> </xsl:template> David -- http://www.dcarlisle.demon.co.uk/matthew XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
