Re: accessing an attribute value in a for-each loop

Hello Eric,

are you sure that it doesn't work? I saw it and found nothing, tested it and
there was no problem - with MSXML and Xalan. Maybe you looked to fast
because the most of your <cell>s don't have an span-attribute.

Furthermore your <xsl:attribute> can't work, because you can't add the same
attribute multiple times (one for each <cell>).
