	templates and iterating attributes from xpath expression by rvj-2 :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message 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 http://www.velocityreviews.com/forums/t167301-seek-xpath-expression-where-an-attribute-name-is-a-regular-expression.html 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? _______________________________________________ dev-tech-xml mailing list dev-tech-xml@... https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-xml
