templates and iterating attributes from xpath expression
rvj
I doubt it can be done but ..........
I ve been trying to see if ASSIGN might return a list of current attributes
(or ideally a specific ndexed attribute)
Having hunted around I came across
which seems to suggest that
<assign var="?findattributenames"
expr="contains(local-name(@*),'gender')"/>
should select the attribute 'gender' (using people.xml). this returns
false.
Is this correct?

seems not - seems @*[index number] is the syntax I was looking for !

@* selects a node-set of all attribute but local-name(@*) returns the
name of the first node in that node-set.

gives you the name of the parent in XPath 1.0.
> b) ../name(@*[1])
name(../@*[1])
gives you the name of the first attribute of the parent in XPath 1.0.
The syntax you have choosen is allowed in XPath 2.0 and XQuery 1.0 but
not in XPath 1.0.
