Mike, Wendell,

Thanks for your replies. I'll send it on over to Altova.


Respectfully,

ASP

Hi ASP,

I was able to run your stylesheet on the data you provide, and got the
output you expect:

<root>
   <countMethod>
     <Name>1, Frisby, 48392</Name>
     <Name>10, Backstayge, 02718</Name>
     <Name>2, Attired, 00218</Name>
     <Name>300, McGoon, 27318</Name>
     <Name>31, Reckonwith, 02930</Name>
   </countMethod>
</root>

So all I can suggest is that you send it to Altova to look at. Maybe you've
found a bug.

In some contexts, "id" is a reserved word (for example, there's an XPath
function "id()"), although in this case you should be fine -- there's no
rule against naming an element or attribute "id". But the fact might
account for occasional bugginess (though I'd hope not).

Anyway -- your code works properly in Xalan and in Saxon, the two
processors I tested it in.

Cheers,
Wendell
