Re: creating a string of child node names

Haydn,

I would try inside the matching template:

        <xsl:element name="input">
          <xsl:attribute name="value">
            <xsl:for-each select="*">
                <xsl:value-of select="name(.)"/>
                <xsl:if test="position() != last()">,</xsl:if>
            </xsl:for-each>
          </xsl:attribute>
          <xsl:attribute name="type">hidden</xsl:attribute>
        </xsl:element>

or better (depending on what exactly you want to do)

  <xsl:variable name="value">
        <xsl:for-each select="*">
          <xsl:value-of select="name(.)"/>
          <xsl:if test="position() != last()">,</xsl:if>
        </xsl:for-each>
    </xsl:variable>       
   <input name="X2H_VAR_NAMES111" value="{$value}" type="hidden"/>

Cheers,

Manolis
