 At 07:42 PM 2/10/2004, you wrote: <xsl:template match="CDRS/TOLL_CDR"> This would be expressed more idiomatically as follows: <xsl:template match="CDRS/TOLL_CDR">
<TOLL_CDR>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*">
</TOLL_CDR>
</xsl:template><xsl:template match="TOLL_CDR/@DIVISION" priority="2">
<xsl:attribute name="mydivision">
<xsl:value-of select="." />
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template><xsl:template match="TOLL_CDR/@*"> <xsl:copy-of select="."/> </xsl:template> In this case the priority is needed on the template matching the @DIVISION attribute since both it and the template matching "TOLL_CDR/@*" (i.e., all attributes on TOLL_CDR) have the same default priority (a priority of 1). Since the first template, but not the second, matches the attribute whose name you want to change, giving it a higher priority ensures that it will match when it can, whereas the other attributes on TOLL_CDR will only match the second template. (The matches on the latter two templates might as well be "@DIVISION" and "@*", in which case you wouldn't need to set the priority since "@DIVISION" has a default priority of 0.5, while "@*" has a priority of 0. But in this case they would also match attributes on other elements; whether this is a good thing depends on what the rest of your transformation is doing.) There are other ways of doing this too, offering different tradeoffs of conciseness, flexibility and extensibility; this particular approach, however, may help shed light on XSLT's funky and powerful node-manipulation processing model.
