You get this error message from Saxon if you write
<e>
some text
<xsl:attribute name="a">3</xsl:attribute>
</e>
In your case the attribute is written from within a called template but the
effect is the same.
You can't add an attribute to an element after adding children to the
element.
Probably your previous XSLT processor was ignoring the error. It's one of
those recoverable errors that a processor is not obliged to report. The
fallback action is to ignore the attribute node.

include namespace for extension functions
Hi,
Can someone tell what error is this?
*** Cannot write an attribute node when no element
start tag is open
***
*****Background story******
This Code was working all right in Apache, recently we started to use
RenderX.
<xsl:template name="questhead">
<xsl:param name="MailName"/>
<xsl:param name="BirthDate"/>
<xsl:param name="ReferenceCode"/>
<xsl:param name="BorderStyle"/>
<xsl:attribute name="border-before-style"><xsl:value-of
select="$BorderStyle"/></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="border-start-style"><xsl:value-of
select="$BorderStyle"/></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="border-end-style"><xsl:value-of
select="$BorderStyle"/></xsl:attribute>
Cheers
Shiva S.

I am using a stylesheet to generate XSL within an
xsl:document command.
Not sure what you mean by the xsl:document "command" - do you
mean the XSLT
1.1 instruction of that name?
The problem I have is that I want to include the xmlns:str
namespace to my
generated stylesheet so that I can use the EXSLT string function
uri-decode().
XSLT 2.0 has an xsl:namespace instruction for this purpose.
In 1.0 there is
a workaround: copy the namespace from a source document. E.g.
<xsl:variable name="dummy">
<str:dummy xmlns:str="the namespace"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:copy-of select="xx:node-set($dummy)//namespace::str"/>

(XQuery, incidentally, decided not to provide this
capability. I think I
will start pointing out all the things you can do with XSLT
2.0 and not with
XQuery 1.0, just in case anyone believes that Microsoft have got it
right...)
