Re: Accessing a node name from within <xsl:attribute>

[Nick Browne <NickBrowne at slipstone dot co dot uk>]

Kate, in IE5 try  :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl">
 <xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="metainfo/*"/>
 </xsl:template>
 <xsl:template match="metainfo/*">
 <xsl:element name="META">
    <xsl:attribute name="name"><xsl:node-name/></xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:attribute name="content"><xsl:value-of
select="text()"/></xsl:attribute>
  </xsl:element>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

xsl:node-name is an MS 'special'.

A more compliant version is :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

 <xsl:template match="metainfo">
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
 </xsl:template>
 <xsl:template match="metainfo/*">
  <xsl:element name="META">
   <xsl:attribute name="name"><xsl:value-of select="name()"/></xsl:attribute>
   <xsl:attribute name="content"><xsl:value-of
select="text()"/></xsl:attribute>
  </xsl:element>
 </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Though the latter definitely doesn't work with IE5. Probably OK with the latest
MSXML release though !
