modify the value of an existing attribute in XSLT

[kay lin]

Hi all:
I have the following XML document

<schema-root-node name="DataSources" node-type="0" status="0">
  <schema-connection-node all-schemas="false" name="AJEventKKKKKTXDS" username="UCJINTG"/>
    |
    |
    |
   </ schema-root-node >  

Now, I want to Modify the "name" attribute of the <schema-connection-node> tag, I would like to know if the following syntax is correct

  <xsl:template match="schema-root-node/schema-connection-node@name">
<!--Needs to change the attribute for this-->
<xsl:attribute name="name">
<!--do something with the 'name' attribute-->
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>

My question is in the <xsl template match =""> if i want to specify the specific attribute, i have to use the full XPath to represent it, correct?
so it would be "schema-root-node/schema-connection-node@name", correct? since "name" is the attribute of schema-root-node/schema-connection-node
node, please let me know..

Many thanks

if you just specify "schema-connection-node@name" , but again its depends on your xml structure.
BTW does xsl:template really work as it is with the xpath, i guess you have to change the xpath from schema-root-node/schema-connection-node@name
to schema-root-node/schema-connection-node[@name] (i am not sure either)...searching my xslt reference book
