Hi Erdal,

parse-xml() [1] returns a document-node, you need to get the root element. Try:

copy $x := <test a="b" c="d"></test>, $y := parse-xml('<o a="x" c="y"></o>') modify ( delete nodes $x/@*, insert node $y*/**/@* into $x ) return $x

Hi, I am trying to copy attributes of one node to another:

copy $x := <test a="b" c="d"></test>, $y := parse-xml('<o a="x" c="y"></o>') modify ( delete nodes $x/@*, insert nodes $y/@* into $x ) return $x

Unfortunately, the resulting $x is an empty <test/> node. I expected it to have the attributes of the parsed node. Am I using parse-xml() properly?

Thanks!
