What have I done wrong here?
Your first problem is that you are testing this code in an environment that gives very poor diagnostics. Ideally, test your code in an XSLT development tool such as Oxygen. If you can only test it in the browser, use a browser like Chrome with a decent developer's console.
When I run it in XSLTfiddle (https://www.xsltfiddle.liberty-development.net) I get a clear error message:
Error executing XSLT at line 70 : An attribute node (
dir) cannot be created after a child of the containing element. Most recent element start tag was output at line 58 of module
If you look at the surrounding code:
<div class="fieldCounsel">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="@ItemPosition='1' and Assistant!=''">
<xsl:text>1st: </xsl:text>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="@ItemPosition='2'">
<xsl:text>2nd: </xsl:text>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="@ItemPosition='3'">
<xsl:text>3rd: </xsl:text>
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
<xsl:attribute name="dir">
<xsl:value-of select="//Settings/Direction"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select="StudyPoint"/>
</div>
It's perfectly clear that the xsl:choose is creating a text node, and you then follow this with an instruction that creates an attribute. You need to create the attributes of an element before you create the children.
