<Root>
<tstEle name="sss"/>

<child type="aa" />
<child type="zz"/>
</Root>

I need to write xsl file to translate into as follows

<Root>
 <tstEle name="sss"/>
 <child type="abc:solid" />
 <child type="def:solid"/>
</Root>

Please help me in xsl file writing.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
    <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>

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

    <xsl:template match="child">
        <xsl:copy>
            <xsl:choose>
                <xsl:when test="@type='aa'">
                    <xsl:attribute name="type">abc:solid</xsl:attribute>
                </xsl:when>
                <xsl:when test="@type='zz'">
                    <xsl:attribute name="type">def:solid</xsl:attribute>
                </xsl:when>
            </xsl:choose>
        </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

I haven't tried this but are you sure you can do this without delaring the namespaces which go with abc and def prefixes?

Joe, they're not namespaces, just attribute values which happen to look like a ns.

So they are, must get my eye prescription checked out
