Re: How to add an attribute

This is actually a namespace node, not an attribute.

If you mean add to your result using xslt, simply put the node in your stylesheet node, and it will get copied over.

xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

<xsl:attribute name="xmlns:xsi" namespace="xmlns">
<xsl:text>http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance</xsl:text>
</xsl:attribute>

But the i output i am getting is breaked as follows
<Update xmlns:ns0="xmlns" ns0:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

When i am trying to validate it against schema it is not getting validated.

Re: How to add an attribute

Really, just put it in your stylesheet node like so:

Code: ( text )

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

It should appear in your root node.
