hi, i need to generate the full xpath name (location) for attributes in the following xsl (see below).
instead of using <xsl:attribute name="name"><xsl:value-of select="name()"/></xsl:attribute> which gets me the just the attribute (field) name, i would like to generate the full xpath expression from the root of the document (i guess it would look something like: /......./Node/SingleForces@attribute_name). i.e. what do i use in instead of: <xsl:value-of select="name()"/> to get the fully qualified name for this field from the root.
