justin shellSubject: Naming elements
Author: justin shell
Date: 22 Aug 2008 11:48 PM
I am creating new elements from element attributes using the following code.

<xsl:for-each select="WTReport/Report/Transect/*/@*">
<xsl:element name="{name()}">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:for-each>

The problem is that all elements have the same attribute names. So I end up having many elements with the same name. What I would like is to have a new element named by combining the element name and the attribute name.

I use XSLT occasionally, but not often. So my knowledge of it and XPath are limited. I've attached the full stylesheet. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Justin

Try the following

<xsl:element name="{concat(name(..),'_', name())}">

Ivan,

Thanks. That works perfectly. I had tried something similar to this earlier and it didn't work. I used:

<xsl:element name="{name(..)}{name()}">

The "name(..)" was creating an error (whenever I removed it, the code worked). So I assumed I couldn't write it that way and looked for a different solution. But now that works, too. Not sure what I changed to make it work.

This morning, a friend suggested the following, which also works.

<xsl:for-each select="WTReport/Report/Transect/*">
<xsl:variable name="prefix" select="name()" />
<xsl:for-each select="@*">
<xsl:element name="{$prefix}_{name()}">
<xsl:value-of select="." />
</xsl:element>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:for-each>

Thanks again,
Justin
