Hi David > <xsl:variable name="value1"> > <xsl:value-of select="field1"/> > </xsl:variable> > > why do people keep doing that? It's because of the syntax asymmetry with xsl:attribute which, until the Nov 2003 XSLT 2 draft, required a value-of to do a select. In practice, that means all XSLT implementations since not even Saxon 7.8 implements select for xsl:attribute.
