Re: How to get xml tag in the xsl rule

[David Carlisle <davidc at nag dot co dot uk>]

<xsl:template match="/ | *">
<input type="text" name="NEED SOME WAY TO GET TAG HERE" value="{.}"
maxlength="50" size="50"></input>
</xsl:template>


Are you _sure_ you want that rule to match / ?
since "/ | *" matches / this template will be called and then there is
nothing to put in the name="" because the root does not have a name
and nothing else will happen as the template does not call
apply-templates and so processing will stop and no elements will be
matched.


So I would guess that you want 


<xsl:template match="*">
<input type="text" name="name(.)" value="{.}"
maxlength="50" size="50"></input>
</xsl:template>

but that again will not go down the tree it will only do top level
elements

PS you do not want the tag you want the element name (these are
different things)
