AW: XSLT - update attribute with new value

Hi Ann Marie,

Although I am not an XSLT Guru as David or Michael, I know that there are
different ways to test the existence of an attribute somewhere in the
document.

1. not(/*//@att)

and

2. count(/*//@att)=0

return "true" if there is not "att" attribute in your document.

I am sure that will be more ways to check that, but these two came into my
mind immediately.

Hope this helps.

Wbr,
Roman

Betreff:  XSLT - update attribute with new value

Hi David and Michael,

Thanks for your help. Removing the extraneous vars and assigning values
to the attributes worked. I also changed indent to no and downloaded sax
6.5, which does much better error reporting.

Now I have one final question. I want to add an attribute/value to the
xml tree only if that attribute does not exist anywhere in the document
source tree.

Is there a way to do that in XSLT?

thanks,

Ann Marie
