I'm fairly new to XSLT, so this is likely to be the first of many questions!

Using XSLT I'm trying to convert the following lines of XML:

<Type>Office</Type>
<PhoneNbr>123456789</PhoneNbr>

into:

<Contact Type="Office">123456789</Contact>

any ideas?

thanks in advance

Hi, try some thing like this:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
 xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

 <xsl:template match="/">
  <Contact>
   <xsl:attribute name="Type" select="Type/text()" />
   <xsl:value-of select="PhoneNbr/text()" />
  </Contact>
 </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

thanks Shasto100, but I had already tried this & it came up with "The 'Select' attribute is not declared"

For your input to be well-formed XML it must have some wrapper element, let's assume it is:

<Phone>
<Type>Office</Type>
<PhoneNbr>123456789</PhoneNbr>
</Phone>

Then you simply write:

<xsl:template match="Phone">
<Contact Type="{Type}"><xsl:value-of select="PhoneNbr"/></Contact>
</xsl:template>

I thought it may have something to do with the OUTPUT element also, eg:

<xsl:output method="xml/text"/>

But its best listening to Michael. hehe

If the error message was

"The 'Select' attribute is not declared"

then perhaps you wrote "Select" rather than "select". XML and XSLT are case-sensitive.

Brilliant.
