xsl:attribute not showing 1

[Craftor]

Hi all,

Here is a snippet from my XSL file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">[/URL]
<xsl:output method="html" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
  <xsl:template match="mytemplate" xml:space="preserve">
    <div>
      <xsl:attribute name="class">
        newsbyline
      </xsl:attribute>
      Your text here
    </div>
  </xsl:template>	
</xsl:stylesheet>

The class attribute isn't being applied to the div element - the div shows up fine in the output.

Can anyone help me with this, please?

Thanks as always

Craftor

Using xml:space="preserve" is somewhat tricky here. Sometimes the trickiness is sometimes due to the lack of complete warning/error message to noticing users.

[1] If you insist "preserve", this is done like this.
[tt]
<div[highlight]><[/highlight]xsl:attribute name="class"[highlight]>newsbyline<[/highlight]/xsl:attribute>
Your text here
</div>
[/tt]
Note the lack of whitespace after <div> and before <xsl:attribute name="class"> tags, and within the <xsl:attribute>'s content.

[2] The initial failure is that whitespace is being significant here and that those whitespaces after <div> will be taken as a child text node of <div>. Now, as a consequence, the engine is taken as instruction to add an attribute "class" to a text node which as a matter of course won't do.

[3] Unless it is of a real need, use xml:space="preserve" is not a very good idea. If you need to control spacing, use instead <xsl:text>...</xsl:text> for the purpose.

You may have the problem of displaying the attribute, but it is only due to your not taking the work to some degree of seriousness.
[tt]
[red]<!--[/red] <xsl:template match="FREIND"> [red]-->[/red]
[blue]<xsl:template match="[/blue][red]NUMBER[/red][blue]">[/blue]
<NUMBER>
<xsl:attribute name="Cell">73773737</xsl:attribute>
</NUMBER>
</xsl:template>
[/tt]
