John,
If you are looking for the value-of OUTPUT use...
<FROM out="{RESULT/OUTPUT}"></FROM>
(It is much shorter.)
Or you could use ...
<xsl:element name="FROM">
<xsl:attribute name="out">
<xsl:value-of select="RESULT/OUTPUT"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>
(This is given that the context is the QUERY node of the XML)
If you want the name of the node, then use the node() function, or if you
want a string which the XSLT determines us <xsl:value-of
select="'OUTPUT'"/> - but this then could simply be writen as ...
<FROM out="OUTPUT">
</FROM>
without using any xsl:value-of at all,
Hope one of those helps with what you want.
Tim Watts

Subject: [xsl] assiging a name of a child element to an attribute
Given:
<QUERY>
<INPUT>a</INPUT>
<RESULT>
<OUTPUT>aa</OUTPUT>
</RESULT
</QUERY>
I want to assign "OUTPUT" (name of the child element of RESULT) to an
attribute as follows:
<xsl:element name="FROM">
<xsl:attribute name="out">
<xsl:value-of select="????"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>
what should I replace ???? with so I can have the String "OUTPUT" there, as
shown below:
<FROM out="OUTPUT">
</FROM>
Thanks.
