<Listing ranking=&quot;1&quot; title=&quot;Find it at CD Store&quot; description=&quot;The CD Store is a UK mail order company selling CDs.&quot; siteHost=&quot; biddedListing=&quot;true&quot;>

</Listing>

how do i get the text from the node when it is an attribute rather than the text within the node?

thanks

Hi,

Here's an example on how to print xml attributes using xsl:

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet version=&quot;1.0&quot; xmlns:xsl=&quot;
<xsl:template match=&quot;/&quot;>

<HTML>
<BODY>

<p> Attributes found in the listing element: </p>

<p>

<xsl:for-each select=&quot;top/listing&quot;>

<xsl:value-of select=&quot;@ranking&quot;/> <br />

<xsl:value-of select=&quot;@title&quot;/> <br />

<xsl:value-of select=&quot;@description&quot;/> <br />

<xsl:value-of select=&quot;@siteHost&quot;/> <br />

<xsl:value-of select=&quot;@biddedListing&quot;/> <br />


</xsl:for-each>

</p>

</BODY>
</HTML>

</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

I changed your xml, because it didn't contain a top or root element and I changed Listing to listing. For me it is much easier to work with all lower case to avoid confusion. (xml is case sensitive)

<?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot;?>

<!--How to list attributes in output
based on attributes in the input.
-->

<?xml-stylesheet type=&quot;text/xsl&quot; href=&quot;listing.xsl&quot;?>
<top>

<listing
ranking=&quot;1&quot;
title=&quot;Find it at CD Store&quot;
description=&quot;The CD Store is a UK mail order company selling CDs.&quot;
siteHost=&quot;biddedListing=&quot;true&quot;>
</listing>

</top>

You may want to create html attributes from the xml attributes. This is possible using the <xsl:attribute> element.

eg.
<!--first look for element -->
<xsl:for-each select=&quot;top/listing&quot;>
<!-- create an attribute title (tooltip in html) from xml attribute title -->
<xsl:attribute name=&quot;title&quot;>The title is
<xsl:value-of select=&quot;@title&quot;/></xsl:attribute>

HTH,

Lillu
