How would you handle the XML tag attributes using XSL?
ie: <money currency="USD">12.2</money>
I FINALLY got allaire's example to work (thanks David), but I don't even
know where to start when it comes to the attributes. Any suggestions?
(If it helps, I'm trying to convert cXML to WDDX)
Thanks in advance,
Brian Kohnen
