RE: [xsl] dynamically generated XSL that needs to include namespace for extension functions

[<Shiva.Sadayan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
Can someone tell what error is this?

	*** Cannot write an attribute node when no element start tag is open
***


*****Background story******
This Code was working all right in Apache, recently we started to use
RenderX.  


<xsl:template name="questhead">
	<xsl:param name="MailName"/>
	<xsl:param name="BirthDate"/>
	<xsl:param name="ReferenceCode"/>
	<xsl:param name="BorderStyle"/>

	<xsl:attribute name="border-before-style"><xsl:value-of
select="$BorderStyle"/></xsl:attribute>
	<xsl:attribute name="border-start-style"><xsl:value-of
select="$BorderStyle"/></xsl:attribute>
	<xsl:attribute name="border-end-style"><xsl:value-of
select="$BorderStyle"/></xsl:attribute>


Cheers

Shiva S.

Not sure what you mean by the xsl:document "command" - do you mean the XSLT
1.1 instruction of that name?

XSLT 2.0 has an xsl:namespace instruction for this purpose. In 1.0 there is
a workaround: copy the namespace from a source document. E.g.

<xsl:variable name="dummy">
  <str:dummy xmlns:str="the namespace"/>
</xsl:variable>

<xsl:copy-of select="xx:node-set($dummy)//namespace::str"/>

(XQuery, incidentally, decided not to provide this capability. I think I
will start pointing out all the things you can do with XSLT 2.0 and not with
XQuery 1.0, just in case anyone believes that Microsoft have got it
right...)
