Re: Obtaining the element name

Hi Nigel,

I think if you are using Microsofts msxml you can get at the element type
by appending "type" at the <elementtag>.

For example:
if (elementtag.type == 0)
     return "Element"

0 - ELEMENT
1 - TEXT
2 - COMMENT
3 - DOCUMENT
4 - DTD

For further information visit Microsofts Site:

I am trying to translate the Microsoft XSL style sheet listed below into
XSL1.0
How do I get at the element type? Is there a functional equivalent to
"tagname" that I can use
within a template like this to pick out the element type within a template
that matches as follows:
<xsl:template match="*|/"> </xsl:template>

          </DIV>
     </rule>
