Re: Copying nodes

Code like this is never going to work:

> <xsl:template match="@URL">
>  <xsl:copy>http://www.mydomain.com</xsl:copy>
> </xsl:template>

xsl:copy copies completely the attribute node. To quote the spec:
"The content of the xsl:copy element is a template for the attributes
and children of the created node; the content is instantiated only for
nodes of types that can have attributes or children (i.e. root nodes
and element nodes)."

http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#copying



Therefore, you need:

<xsl:template match="@URL">
   <xsl:attribute name="URL">http://www.mydomain.com</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>

The code that you sent me did not change the value of
the URL attribute within the copied node. Any other
suggestions?
