Here is what I'm trying to get to work in an XSL stylesheet.

<element attribute="<xsl:value-of select="whatever">"/>

it doesn't work but its what I need done. any help would be appreciated.

thanks i figured it out. here's how I did it if anyone else has this problem.


<element>
<xsl:attribute name="attribute">
<xsl:value-of select=""/>
</xsl:attribute>
</element>

RETURNS:-------------

<element attribute="">

What I showed is a syntactic shortcut for exactly the same thing. Just put the XPath selector in between {} inside the attribute value.
