RE: Using copy to change a node, whilst retaining the attributes

Hi
It seams to me that you're making this harder than it is. You already have the 
test of 
those nodes you want, so, instead of not copying them just change there values:

  <xsl:template match="yes">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
      <xsl:choose>
        <xsl:when test="@ID &gt;= $varFrom and @ID &lt;= $varTo and 
ancestor::player/@pword = $varPword">
          <!-- do whatever you want here -->
          <xsl:value-of select="$type"/>
        </xsl:when>
        <xsl:otherwise>
          <xsl:apply-templates/>
        </xsl:otherwise>
      </xsl:choose>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>


You just need to change the name of the vars $varFrom, $varTo and $varPword to 
the ones 
you are using

Hope this helps you.

} Tried the below but this does not copy across the attributes. The
} problem I am having is that there seems many ways to skin this cat, but
} I cannot get any of them to work, sigh. Could I have a go at restating
} my problem. I want to change the text value of a node(depending on a
} test) whilst retaining the attributes.
} 
} My Input looks like this 
} 
} <player pword="843208">
}   <dates>
}     <yes ID="20030722" WE="Tu">A</yes>
}     <yes ID="20030729" WE="Tu">A</yes>
}     <yes ID="20030805" WE="Tu">A</yes>
}     <yes ID="20030809" WE="Sa">D</yes>
}     <yes ID="20030810" WE="Su">D</yes>
}     <yes ID="20030812" WE="Tu">D</yes>
}     <yes ID="20030819" WE="Tu">A</yes>
}     <yes ID="20030826" WE="Tu">A</yes>
}   </dates>
} </player>
} 
} The Output needed is:
} <player pword="843208">
}   <dates>
}     <yes ID="20030722" WE="Tu">A</yes>
}     <yes ID="20030729" WE="Tu">A</yes>
}     <yes ID="20030805" WE="Tu">A</yes>
}     <yes ID="20030809" WE="Sa">C</yes>
}     <yes ID="20030810" WE="Su">C</yes>
}     <yes ID="20030812" WE="Tu">C</yes>
}     <yes ID="20030819" WE="Tu">A</yes>
}     <yes ID="20030826" WE="Tu">A</yes>
}   </dates>
} </player>
} 
} 
} <xsl:template match="player/dates/yes">
} <xsl:copy>
} <xsl:choose>
}  <xsl:when test="ancestor::player/@pword=$pmkey">
}   <xsl:value-of select="$type"/>
} </xsl:when>
} <xsl:otherwise><xsl:value-of select="."/></xsl:otherwise>
} </xsl:choose>
} 
} </xsl:copy>
} </xsl:template>
} 
} <xsl:template match="player/dates/yes/@ID">
} <xsl:copy>
}   <xsl:value-of select="."/>
} </xsl:copy>
} </xsl:template>
} 
} <xsl:template match="player/dates/yes/@WE">
} <xsl:copy>
}   <xsl:value-of select="."/>
} </xsl:copy>
} </xsl:template>
