I am trying to return the attritube TNAME but restricting it to only those that are in LEAGUE lname='A-League' This DOES work however, after it displays what I want, it displays all of the other TEAM information from the other teams just not the TNAME that I told it not to. Why is it displaying all this extra data that I dont want?
I know that to display the contents of an element node its a simple xsl:value-of select="" but how would I display the contents of an attribute of that element? For instance I have an element called "league" and would like to display the contents of its attribute "lname"
This is to mention that most of the material from my presentation will be coming directly from the sources I mentioned. I will be simply making a meager attempt to explain the concepts which I understand.

I'd also like to formally apologize to anyone upon whom I have infringed in the selection of this particular aspect of XSLT (or any other technology for that matter). I selected it simply because we hadn't really discussed it at length in class, and I noticed on the syllabus that it didn't look as if it would come up again.

This article is by Robin Covers (Cover Pages, sponsored by OASIS) and describes a Xerox technology recently posted on alphaAve.com.
Circus-DTE is a programming language specialized for Data Structure transformation. Thanks to its original type system, Circus-DTE provides verification of transformation programs. The 'hot' problem of designing XML transformations that produce "valid" (DTD compliant) outputs is addressed through an advanced type system and a Data Model associated with an automatic DTD-to-Circus-DTE-type conversion tool.
