Hi,

Generate-id() function bases its id's on the current context node. You can supply an XPath as parameter to select another node to base the id on.

Can you supply a larger snippet of your XSL. At least the xsl-template in which you use the function?

Cheers,
Geert

Hi,

I am using the XPath function "generate-id()", obviously to give an xml id to some node in the target document as folowing:
...
<sentence>
<xsl:attribute name="stamp">
<xsl:value-of select="generate-id()"/>
</xsl:attribute>
...
</sentence>
...

But in the result, all the attribut "stamp" generated have the same value !!!
Can you help me?

Tx

Ali,
