Hi Arvind,
Sorry, I discovered some bugs in my previous answer. I
believe the following XSL is correct --

I believe Dimitre's answer ;-is also correct-;

What is the best way to compare two elements in
terms of their
attributes, and the attribute values? I need to
ensure that each
element has the same number of attributes, the
same
attribute names and
the same attribute values.
I am currently working on a stylesheet which
compares two xml
documents, and generates the differences between
them. I have used Lar
Huttar's xml document comparison stylesheet as my
base (located at
http://www.dpawson.co.uk), but am stuck on
augmenting it with checks on
attributes.
I am currently stuck with something along the
lines
of:
...
<xsl:call-template
name="compare-attributes">
with nodes as parameters
...
<xsl:template name="compare-attributes">
<xsl:param name="attrA"/>
<xsl:param name="attrB"/>
<xsl:for-each select="$attrA/@*">
.... check that the same attribute
exists with
.... the same attribute exists
if it does then compare the values
for equality
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
