Thank you, the solution you have provided works perfectly for my case. I was just wondering that if [attribute_name=attribute_value] does not have any purpose then, why not just set the value to attribute_value directly when using x:set If it does have a purpose then the way x:set works now is fine. Anyway this is probably for another discussion thread. I think we can close this thread now. Thank you once again for the help.
