Hallo,
I know, attribute order doesn't matter, and if order matters, something is
wrong. But I generate HTML from XML and there are old tools. So I have to
keep the attribute order. I guess Xalan sorts the attributs alphabetically.
Is there a way, to change the behaviour of Xalan?
Well, if you are copying from input to output and want to keep the attributes
in alphabetic order, you could so something like
<xsl:template match = "*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:for-each select = "@*">
<xsl:sort select = "name()"/>
<xsl:copy/>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
Cheers,
Tony.
