In order to add attributes  XSL wants    lt xsl element name  img  gt        attributes   lt  xsl element gt    instead of just    lt img gt        attributes   lt  img gt    Although  yes  if you re just copying the element as-is  you don t need any of that

Shouldn t that be    lt xsl value-of select   root Image img  src   gt      It looks like you are trying to copy the entire Image img node to the attribute  src

The other option to try is a straightforward    lt img width  100  height  100  src   root Image image jpeg  class  CalloutRightPhoto   gt    i e  without    but instead giving the direct image path

Never mind -- I m an idiot  I just needed   lt xsl value-of select   root Image node     gt

Just to clarify the problem here - the error is in the following bit of code    lt xsl attribute name  src  gt       lt xsl copy-of select   root Image node     gt   lt  xsl attribute gt    The instruction xsl copy-of takes a node or node-set and makes a copy of it - outputting a node or node-set  However an attribute cannot contain a node  only a textual value  so xsl value-of would be a possible solution  as this returns the textual value of a node or nodeset    A MUCH shorter solution  and perhaps more elegant  would be the following    lt img width  100  height  100  src    root Image node     class  CalloutRightPhoto   gt    The use of the    in the attribute is called an Attribute Value Template  and can contain any XPATH expression   Note  the same XPath can be used here as you have used in the xsl copy-of as it knows to take the textual value when used in a Attribute Value Template
