Question

I am trying to design a form using xsl which parses a simple xml file; like this:

<tests>
    <agent ID="1" Name="Name 1"  />
    <agent ID="2" Name="Name 2"  />
    <agent ID="3" Name="Name 3"  />
</tests>

and xsl file:

<form action="." method="post"  >
        <xsl:for-each select="tests">
        <table >
            <tr>
                <th></th>
                <th>ID</th>
                <th>Name</th>
            </tr>
            <xsl:for-each select="agent">
                <tr>
                    <td><input type="checkbox" name="checkbox1" value="" /> </td>
                    <td><xsl:value-of select="@ID"/></td>
                    <td><xsl:value-of select="@Name"/></td>
                </tr>
            </xsl:for-each>
        </table>
            <input type="submit" value="Delete"/>
        </xsl:for-each>
        </form>

I want the value of checkbox to be the ID value.(<xsl:value-of select="@ID"/>). but I cannot use this tag inside checkbox tag.
What should I do?

<xsl:attribute> will allow you to add arbitrary attributes to tags.

The xsl:attribute element can be used to add attributes to result elements whether created by literal result elements in the stylesheet or by instructions such as xsl:element.

<picture>
  <xsl:attribute name="source">foo</xsl:attribute>
</picture>
