RE: [xsl] assiging a name of a child element to an attribute

["Tim Watts" <timw at 3d3 dot com>]

Ahh, I see.

<FROM out="{name(RESULT/*)}"></FROM>

or the more lengthy form john was writing it...

<xsl:element name="FROM">
     <xsl:attribute name="out">
       <xsl:value-of select="name(RESULT/*)"/>
     </xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>

I think what he wanted was:

<FROM out="{name(RESULT/*)}"></FROM>

This will return the name of the first child element of RESULT.

...I think. ;)  Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
