Re: [xsl] Element value

["Laura" <xsl_list@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jarno,
just a naive question..
wouldnt this serve?

<xsl:template match="/">
<element name="{/element/element.name}"/>
</xsl:template>

What are the downsides if any in the above approach apart from the fact that
i have hardcoded the attribute "name" rather than using the string-after()
function to get the attribute's name ( "name" )..
for what Endre needed  as in.

Wouldnt  the template I have given above suffice.
