RE: adding attributes to an existing element

Incase if you want to get the same xml just with a new attribute added, you
can just
add the following:

<xsl:template match="/db/*">
    <xsl:copy>
       <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
       <xsl:attribute name="newattribute">newAttributeValue</xsl:attribute>
         <xsl:value-of select="."/>  <------- Added.
    </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

Nirmala
