Could you give an example? You can create attributes with
xsl:attribute even if you're using a literal result element to create
the element on which the attribute will be placed, e.g.:

  <foo>
    <xsl:if test="someTest">
      <xsl:attribute name="bar">baz</xsl:attribute>
    </xsl:if>
  </foo>

if that's what you meant?

Oopsie. I got used to reading www.topxml.com (<http://www.topxml.com/xsl/elmxsl_attribute.asp>) for a "Cliff's Notes" approach to XSL coding. Back when I needed an attribute for an element, I remember only reading the "Can be Contained by" section (thereby missing the entire paragraph at the top). I guess the incorrect assumption stuck in my head.


I didn't think that Jeni would neglect to state something relevant...
