<xsl:template match="Level3"> <xsl:element name="Level3"> simpler to write <Level3> <xsl:copy-of select="*[not(name()='ChildElementToChange')]" /> better to do *[not(self::ChildElementToChange)] <xsl:variable name="L3Attr" select="@L3Attr" /> No need to use a variable here, just means you access with $ instead of ../@ <xsl:for-each select="ChildElementToChange"> <xsl:call-template name="ChangeChildElement"> It would probably have been simpler to just use <xsl:apply-templates select="ChildElementToChange"/> rather than use a named template in for-each, but if you are using a named template then <xsl:with-param name="L3Attr"><xsl:value-of select="$L3Attr" /></xsl:with-param> This could more simply be expressed as <xsl:with-param name="L3Attr" select="../@L3Attr"/> but you don't need a parameter at all as the named template has access this to this data as @L3Attr </xsl:call-template> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:element> </xsl:template> <xsl:template name="ChangeChildElement"> as noted above, it would probably have been simpler to have <xsl:template match="ChildElementtoChange"> <xsl:param name="L3Attr" /> and you don't need this param. <xsl:element name="ChildElementToChange"> <xsl:element name="NewElement"> <xsl:attribute name="L3Attr"><xsl:value-of select="$L3Attr" /></xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="OldValue"><xsl:value-of select="@OldValue" /></xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="NewValue"><xsl:value-of select="@NewValue" /></xsl:attribute> </xsl:element> </xsl:element> the above lines could be written as <ChildElementToChange> <NewElement> <xsl:copy-of select="@OldValue|@NewValue|../@L3Attr"/> </NewElement> </ChildElementToChange> </xsl:template> David _____________________________________________________________________ This message has been checked for all known viruses by Star Internet delivered through the MessageLabs Virus Control Centre.
