extracting XML attributes and inserting as new elements using XSLT

2 New Member
Hi all,

Can anyone help with this? I would like to extract the attributes from a XML node and then transform them back to XML as elements using XSLT?

Thanks guys, I have actually sort it out now. Use the following if you need an answer:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:styleshe et xmlns:xsl="http ://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
<xsl:output indent="yes" />
<xsl:strip-space elements="*" />
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:if test="//office">
<xsl:for-each select="@*">
<xsl:element name="{name()}" >
<xsl:value-of select="." />
</xsl:element>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

I'm writing a site with mod_python which will have, among other things, forums. I want to allow users to use some HTML (<em>, <strong>, <p>, etc.) on the forums, but I don't want to allow bad elements and attributes (onclick, <script>, etc.). I would also like to do basic validation (no overlapping elements like <strong><em>foo</em></strong>, no missing end tags). I'm not asking anyone to write a script for me, but does anyone have general...

Hi All, I've been working on mining data from a schema file (all attribute data so far) and have come to the point where I need to get information that is contained in tags. For instance, <tag>My Data Here</tag>. I've tried using the <xsl:value-of select="tag"/> element, but it does not appear to work in schema files. Is this correct? Is there another way to get at this data? -James

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
