Access attribute in attribute sequence

Tuesday, 18 November 2008

Suppose you have constructed a sequence of attributes.

How do you access a value of attribute "a"?

Simple, isn't it? It has taken a couple of minutes to find a solution!

<xsl:variable name="attributes" as="attribute()*"> <xsl:apply-templates mode="t:generate-attributes" select="."/> </xsl:variable> <xsl:variable name="value" as="xs:string?" select="$attributes[self::attribute(a)]"/>

Or just:

$attributes[name() = 'a']

I know that you know these are different things:
$attributes[self::attribute(a)]
$attributes[name() = 'a']

P.S. I suspect these are different from performance perspective also.
