Hi

I'm pretty new to XSLT so bare with me. I'm having problems trying to convert the county elements into attributes like so:

----xml file----
<Counties>
<County>Aberdeenshire</County>
<County>Angus</County>
<County>Argyll</County>
<County>Avon</County>
<County>Ayrshire</County>
</Counties>

----XSLT file----
<xsl:template match="Counties">
<xsl:for-each select="County">
<xsl:attribute name="Name">
<xsl:value-of select="County"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

----what i want:----

<Counties>
<County name="Aberdeenshire" />
<County name="Angus" />
<County name="Argyll" />
<County name="Avon" />
<County name="Ayrshire" />
</Counties>

I'm sure i've got some kind of scope problem in <xsl:value-of select="County"/>, is there another/better way to convert?

regards

Tony Lavinio

1. You should use Stylus Studio; this is our help forum for our users.
2. You forgot to wrap the attributes with the <County> element
3. You can use an AVT instead of xsl:attribute, to wit:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<Counties>
<xsl:for-each select="Counties/County">
<County name="{.}"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</Counties>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
