attribute problem

[Lisa van Gelder <li...@wirestation.co.uk>]

Hi guys

I've got a stylesheet that generates a stylesheet, and I want to generate
the stylesheet declaration at the top. I'm trying:

<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:element name="xsl:stylesheet">
<xsl:attribute name="version">1.0</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute
name="xmlns:xsl">http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform</xsl:attribute>

However the last attribute doesn't get generated at all, unless I take out
the colon on the "xmlns:xsl" bit. Are colons not allowed in attribute names?
How do I get around it, so that I can generate my attribute?

thanks in advance

Lisa

If I remember well, it is not allowed to specify the xmlns:xsl attribute
in the result tree the way you did. (The specification forbids it)

Use <xsl:namespace-alias /> to get the result that you want. Read
section 7.1 one of the spec. I have already posted an example for
that some weeks ago.
