Hi, I've encountered some behaviour that I can't understand in a transformation that I'm currently engaged on. The transformations are all pretty simple and follow the same pattern, but with just a few of them I'm getting odd results where the element text is not being output. For example, in one case I have the following xsl: ... ... <!-- Instance --> <xsl:for-each select="Instance"> <Instance> <NUMHUS> <xsl:value-of select="NUMHUS/text()"/> </NUMHUS> <REDUCEDI> <xsl:attribute name="codeListAgencyName"> <xsl:text>HESA</xsl:text> </xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="codeListName"> <xsl:text>REDUCEDI</xsl:text> </xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="languageID"> <xsl:text>en</xsl:text> </xsl:attribute> <xsl:value-of select="REDUCEDI/text()"/> </REDUCEDI> <COURSEID> <xsl:value-of select="COURSEID/text()"/> </COURSEID> ... The source document has the following: <Instance> <NUMHUS>000001075369710892 </NUMHUS> <personal_id>02002538</personal_id> <REDUCEDI>00</REDUCEDI> ... <COURSEID>62105201 </COURSEID> ... (Note that <personal_id> is not transferred to the output document) The destination document gives: <Instance> <NUMHUS>000001070027710892 </NUMHUS> <REDUCEDI codeListAgencyName="HESA" codeListName="REDUCEDI" languageID="en"/> <COURSEID>53705101 </COURSEID> ... My problem is the <REDUCEDI> element. I don't understand why it hasn't taken the text '00' into the destination document as I was expecting. I've got what I take to be the same problem elsewhere, so I'm hoping that solving it here will give the solution elsewhere as well. Thanks in advance Peter
