Re: xsl loop for display in drop-down box

Thanks once again Charlie, I got the desired HTML to show up in Stylus -
yes; the attribute worked!

But Saxon still continues to give me the same error message:
"Cannot write an attribute when there is no open start tag"

Mike, as per your suggestion i did move my xsl:if above the xsl:value.
Inspite of that.............
So here is the XSL which works in Stylus but not in Saxon!

<select name="FIRST">
<xsl:variable name="tmp">
<xsl:value-of select="FIRST/@SELECTED"/></xsl:variable>
<xsl:for-each select="FIRST">
<xsl:element name="option">
<xsl:if test="@SELECTED='Y'">
 <xsl:attribute name="SELECTED"><xsl:value-of select="."/></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:for-each>
</select>
