Re: [Laszlo-dev] Parsing order of dataset attributes

[Philip Romanik]

The example parses the <day> tag. The data is coming attributes that looks 
like:

<day label="Thursday " 
imageurl="http://www.srh.noaa.gov/ifps/text/images/few.jpg";
desc="Mostly Sunny" temp="Hi  45&#176;F "/>

The complete file (from LPP-3379) is below:

So the grid component creates attributes under the covers when it is
binding against a dataset? I'm still confused about how attributes
enter into the picture here.
