Embed xml property into <body> xsl...???

Ahoy,

Does anyone perhaps know how to embed an xml property value eg <color bg="orange"
/> into the <body BACKGROUND=""> property.

Thus, the xsl extracts "orange" from the xml doc and places it into the body
tag. Nesting a <xsl:for-each value...> does not seem to work and throws
up an error.

Will u tell me that I have to redesign my xml doc and actually print out
the <BODY tag> from an xml doc. Hmmm, any hints will go a long way >>>

Thanks Jason - cape town, south africa

This will produce the output "<body background="orange"></body>"

<body><xsl:attribute name="background">orange</xsl:attribute></body>

This will pull the <BACKGROUND> tag value from the current xml node and assign
it to the "background" attribute of the body tag:

<xsl:attribute name="background"><xsl:value-of select="BACKGROUND"/></xsl:attribute>
