How to capture element/attribute

Report · May 09, 2008

We have an export client that converts the Frame file to xml. We are using "LightTitle" element at various places, this element also has an attribute called "LightColor".

When I look at the output xml, I can see all LightTitle elements, but only some of them (2 out of 10) have the LightColor attribute!

How can we capture the attribute associated with a specific element and output it to the final xml?

Thanks.

Guarav,

If the attribute is defined in your DTD or schema, it should write out the attribute by default. Are the 8 missing attributes actually populated? Frame won't write an empty attribute, as far as I know.

If your LightColor attributes do not contain ant content - then they will not be written out - you can change the rules to add a 'dummy' if you need them in the XML - OR -(and probably easier) post process your XML and add the missing elements/attribute pairs based on rules in your XSLT or program...

have fun.
