RE: [xsl] How to trim leading and trailing spaces in xsl:attribute?

David,

Could you post the template or a big enough chunk of it so we can see how the <xsl:attribute> instruction is set up?

Ordinarily whitespace-only nodes are stripped from the stylesheet unless inside <xsl:text>, so we wouldn't expect to see what you're reporting. So there must be something special about your case (though you haven't described anything yet to account for it).

Regards,
Wendell

Using "normalize-space()" in my "xsl:value-of" element doesn't address
the issue.  It's not spaces in the variable I'm referencing that is an
issue, it's the spaces that I produce by adding a newline after
"<xsl:attribute ...>".  I thought your "useful shortcut" would solve my
problem, but that doesn't work for me.  It fails, saying "select" is not
a valid attribute for "xsl:attribute".

I would guess the only way to come close to addressing this is adding
the newline after "<xsl:value-of", as you did in your reply (either
intentionally or unintentionally), instead of after "<xsl:attribute
...>".
