Did you tell us what processor you're using?
Xalan 2.4.1 with FOP
Many of us XSLT programmer-types have two (or three or four)
different
processors on our system to try when this kind of thing
happens. If the
stylesheet breaks in another processor, chances are the bug
is your own.
Below is a more complete sample.
This gives a correct output, all attributes included, when tested in XML
Spy version 4.1, which I think uses MSXML(?) by default.
So either the error is in my code or in Xalan. But I've learned by time
that you shouldn't be too quick too blame other peoples code. Although I
have been testing it extensively to try to find the troublesome spot.
But I won't go into details about that here.
The specific thing that I'm doing is that the "mode" templates are
output through a home cooked transformation of CSS files into a separate
"styling" xslt file that then includes the main stylesheet. To achieve
integration with the css style profile of a web site.
But to conclude this: The code below seems to be valid xslt, so the
error is elsewhere. Thanks for the input.
