<xsl:variable name="cities">
<xsl:for-each select="//location/@city">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:variable>
You can then access it using $cities. It good practice to provide a
more explicit path than '//'

Subject: [xsl] how concat() attributes of several elements
Hello,
I am struggling with unupdateable characteristics of xsl variables. If
I
have the following xml fragment.
<map>
<location country="us" city="washington"/>
<location country="us" city="detroit"/>
<location country="us" city="dallas"/>
</mapr>
How could I concatenate all the city attributes so that the result is
"washingtondetroitdallas" and assign it to a variable. In java I would
normally
set up a for loop and concat the result of the first iteration to the
subsequent iteration and so on...
Thanks
