RE: Element value

2002-11-21 03:55:17
Hi,

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.

I need to tranform an element value to an attribute value:
input:
<element>
<element.name>hello</element.name>
</element>
output:
<element name="hello"/>
I have no idea ho to refer the element's value in an xsl:template
--------------------------------------------------------------

Wouldnt  the template I have given above suffice.

Yes, it would. But it wouldn't be the first time people asked a question on 
this forum and didn't ask the *whole* question; I would imagine he needs to 
transform more than one element to an attribute, with the attribute name being 
read from the child element name.
