Description

This only affects IE versions 8 and previous:

Dynamically setting the value of a class to any string value results in the '[object]' value being assigned instead of the real string value. For example:

<xsl:tempate match="item">
<li class="{'open'}">
   <xsl:value-of select="."/>
</li>
</xsl:template>

Will result in the HTML element: <li class="[object]">First Item</li>

Cause: IE8 and previous versions treat the class attribute as a property of an element called 'className'. Saxon-CE manages this when reading attributes, but when writing, it was only setting the class attribute value. Setting the 'className' property resolves the issue.
