Use an attribute value template (AVT) as follows:
<input type="text" name="productName" value="{.}" size="25" maxlength="30"/>
Putting curly braces around an XPath expression in the context of a literal
result element's attribute value (and a few select XSLT instructions'
attribute values) is exactly the same as doing the following (which would be
another solution to your problem):
<input type="text" name="productName" size="25" maxlength="30">
<xsl:attribute name="value">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:attribute>
</input>
I think you will agree that, since you don't need anything like conditional
processing to get the desired value of your attribute, the former solution
is a much nicer one.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
I can't get this working. value of the input field will be <xsl:value-of
select=".">
instead of the real name -- XML Bible. I guess XSLT will not transform any
XSL statement inside
a html tag.
Any workaround will be really appreciated. Thanks,
Joan
=============xsl code=================
<xsl:template match="productName">
<input type="text" name="productName" value='<xsl:value-of
select="."/>' size="25" maxlength="30" />
</xsl:template>
=============xml code================
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<productName> XML Bible </productName>
=============output==============
<input type="text" name="productName" value='<xsl:value-of select="."/>'
size ="25" maxlength="30" />
==========what I want==============
<input type="text" name="productName" value='XML Bible' size ="25"
maxlength="30" />
