Re: Problem with nested Stuff

If all you want is to replace the contents of any element that has a myid
attribute with the value of the myid attribute, you can do it with two
templates: an identity transform and another template that matches any
element with a myid attribute. Here's a stylesheet that does it:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

  <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" omit-xml-declaration="no"
indent="yes"/>

  <xsl:template match="@*|node()">
    <xsl:copy><xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/></xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="*[@myid]">
    <xsl:copy>{<xsl:value-of select="@myid"/>}</xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

I tested it with Xalan Java 2.4.1 (after I added a root element to your
XML snippet).

The difference between my approach and Jon Gorman's approach is that I use
templates and he uses xsl:choose, but the approaches are otherwise very
similar. (Jon's response came in as I was writing my response, by the
way.)

I suspect you may want something more than what Jon and I have shown,
though, as it seems odd to me that you would want to throw away the
content of elements that have myid attributes.

 Problem with nested Stuff






Hi,

i want to get from:

<div myid="test">blah</div>
<table>
  <tr>
    <td>test</td>
    <td myid="test2">blah2</td>
  </tr>
</table>

this:

<div>{test}</div>
<table>
  <tr>
    <td>test</td>
    <td>{test2}</td>
  </tr>
</table>

How can achieve this?

Thx in advance.
