RE: [xsl] attribute order

[Andy Joslin <andy.joslin@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Peter

I've just tried rearranging the attributes and the processor (in my case,
Xalan/Xerces) does seem to respect the order..

e.g.

<xsl:attribute name="width">580</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="cellpadding">0</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="cellspacing">0</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="border">0</xsl:attribute>

becomes...

<table width="580" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">


I can't speak for other processors, but this works for me. I don't know what
setup Meltem is using, but it would be interesting to see if this behaviour
is consistent across implementations.


cheers


Andy

It was my experience that processors that change the order tend to 
alphabetize the attributes, or, if the processor happens to store the 
attributes in a hash-map of some kind, seemingly random order.  Have you 
tried if rearranging the attribute-set has the same effect in the output?
