Re: [xsl] How to use xPath expression: /node/@attribute to retrieve attribute nodes in XSLT?

[Marian Olteanu <mou_softwin@xxxxxxxxx>]

You need to do something like this:
<xsl:temlate match="/">
  <output>
    <xsl:value-of select="/company/employee/@empID"/>
  <output/>
</xsl:template>

The default rules dumps the text nodes to the output and never process attribute nodes.
