Re: [xsl] $5 PAYPAL for correct answer still not claimed! Searching for an attribute across different elements with ancestoral elements returned

Totally untested, but how about something like:

<xsl:variable name="myvar">
   <xsl:apply-templates select="*[@OFFER]" mode="something"/>
</xsl:variable>

<xsl:template match="*[@OFFER]" mode="something">
   <xsl:copy/>
</xsl:template>
