Re: [xsl] difference between select="*" and select="node()"

it's behaving the same way for me :-(
am using Oreilly's XSLT to learn XSLT.
It says that node() selects the attribute as well in addition to the text
nodes.

node() as node test does select any kind of node, but node() as XPath expression (location step) is abbreviated form of child::node(), which never selects any attribute node because of child axis (attributes are not children of the element, but the element is their parent).
