RE: Moving an attribute from a node to a child node

Hi,

With XSLT you can't move anything, just create a modified copy.

E.g.

  <xsl:template match="NodeB">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:copy-of select="../@reason"/>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>
  <xsl:template match="NodeA/@reason"/>
  <xsl:template match="@* | node()">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>
