That works too...just for reference, this is what I just figured out:

......
<xsl:element name="attribute"><xsl:attribute name="type"><xsl:value-of
select="local-name(attributeMap/child::*)"/></xsl:attribute>
......

Thanks,
Harsh.

Hi,

I am writing XSLt (ver 1.0) for output to an XML file. At one point I
would like to get the name of the element and include that in the
output. An example would be:

Input XML:

<rootElement>
        <productAttributeList>
            <attributeMap>
                <ReinstatementInProc>N</ReinstatementInProc>
            </attributeMap>
            <elementName>attribute</elementName>
        </productAttributeList>
</rootElement>

Output XML:

<rootElement>
    <attribute type="ReinstatementInProc">N</attribute>
</rootElement>

I would really appreciate your help on this.

Thanks,
Harsh.
