RE: attribute order

thanks, this is working. 

the claim came from a client and they insisted on having the *correct*
order. I also don't believe that this makes any difference. In order to
convince them I am looking for a reference to proof it. Sorry this is not a
topic here, so if you have any reference to point to you can send it to me
directly.

Cheers

Meltem

In my experience you can control the order using xsl-attribute-sets

e.g.

<xsl:attribute-set name="table580">
<xsl:attribute name="border">0</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="cellpadding">0</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="cellspacing">0</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="width">580</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>

results in..

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="580">

though I agree that the order isn't really that significant


cheers

In both XML and HTML the ordering of attributes is insignificant.
You can not control this from XSLT, any more than you can control whether
" or ' is used around the value.
