Re: [xsl] adding an attribute

[Jörg Heinicke <joerg dot heinicke at gmx dot de>]

Hi Carmelo,

your error message "visit has an illegal attribute: {1}" shows, that you
didn't open a new element before calling this template. It has to be
something similar to the following example:

<xsl:template match="fo">
    <xsl:element name="fo">
        <xsl:call-template name="buildChildrenTree"/>
    </xsl:element>
</xsl.template>

<xsl:template name = "buildChildrenTree">
    <xsl:attribute name = "visit">yes</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>

As Jarno already said, you are not manipulating the input-tree!! You are
creating a completely new output-tree.
