XSLT » xsl:attribute » name="qname"

Syntax:

<xsl:attribute name="{$att_name}" />

The mandatory name attribute is the qname of the attribute to be displayed in output. A qname is a qualified name that is composed of an optional namespace prefix, a colon, which is only present if there is a prefix, and a mandatory XML name (for example, xsl:zipcode or zipcode). The name is one of a very few attributes that can be set to an expression that is computed at run-time. (Such attributes are interpreted as Attribute Value Templates.) The syntax for doing this is demonstrated.
