Question

I have an XML document, and I want to change the values for one of the attributes.

First I copied everything from input to output using:

<xsl:template match='@*|node()'>   <xsl:copy>     <xsl:apply-templates select='@*|node()'/>   </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> 

And now I want to change the value of the attribute 'type' in any element named 'property'.

Answer 1

Tested on a simple example, works fine:

<xsl:template match='@*|node()'>   <xsl:copy>     <xsl:apply-templates select='@*|node()'/>   </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match='@type[parent::property]'>   <xsl:attribute name='type'>     <xsl:value-of select=''your value here''/>   </xsl:attribute> </xsl:template>
