Hi Philip,
I guess you could do a string replacement using something like:
<xsl:choose>
<!-- If '<xsl:value-of select="/guide/@yearsOld"/>' is in the text
node -->
<xsl:when test="contains(text, '<xsl:value-of
select="/guide/@yearsOld"/>')">
<!-- then replace it with '<xsl:value-of select="guide/@yearOld" />' and
paste the rest of the element value -->
<xsl:element name="text">
<xsl:value-of select="substring-before(text, '<xsl:value-of
select="/guide/@yearsOld"/>')"/>
<xsl:value-of select="guide/@yearOld" />
<xsl:value-of select="substring-after(text, '<xsl:value-of
select="/guide/@yearsOld"/>')"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
Cheers,
Tim Watts
