[Marc Portier]

Antal,

it looks like you are struggling with basic xpath and xslt notation.

you might want to read up on those specs in a good book, or dwell around 
the many online tutorials and guides about them. (e.g. at http://zvon.org)

xpath declares a syntax for expressions that select (or match) a set of 
'nodes' from an XML node-tree. The used node-tree model looks a lot like 
the DOM model for XML (which you might be familiar with)

In any case the expression you used above would point to an 
attribute-node that is the child of another attribute-node (while XML 
doesn't allow attributes to have any children or nested structure of any 
sort, only a value)


so the expression:

d:fields/d:field[@name='field1']/@valueFormatted

points to all attribute-nodes called valueFormatted that are present on
   - elements d:field that are
      - having an attribute name which value equals 'field1'
      - and that are being nested in a parent element d:fields

Your question makes me think you would have liked the @created 
attribute-value to be formatted in some other way then it is?
