RE: Value of <id> element not returned

Hi ASP,

I was able to run your stylesheet on the data you provide, and got the output you expect:

<root>
  <countMethod>
    <Name>1, Frisby, 48392</Name>
    <Name>10, Backstayge, 02718</Name>
    <Name>2, Attired, 00218</Name>
    <Name>300, McGoon, 27318</Name>
    <Name>31, Reckonwith, 02930</Name>
  </countMethod>
</root>

So all I can suggest is that you send it to Altova to look at. Maybe you've found a bug.

In some contexts, "id" is a reserved word (for example, there's an XPath function "id()"), although in this case you should be fine -- there's no rule against naming an element or attribute "id". But the fact might account for occasional bugginess (though I'd hope not).

Anyway -- your code works properly in Xalan and in Saxon, the two processors I tested it in.

Cheers,
Wendell

Thanks for the reply. Below is the stylesheet and complete XML document. I'm
using the XSLT processor built into Altova's XMLSpy (Home Edition, version
2005 sp2).
