You have to do it without quotes: <foo bar={barValue}>

This way it would work:

defintion:

def createXMLElement(value: String, attributeValue: String) : Node =   
<foo attribute={attributeValue}>{value}</foo>

scala> createXMLElement("Hello World", "boring")
res2: scala.xml.Node = <foo attribute="boring">Hello World</foo>

In the example given you assign the result to a val and expect the return type Node. The returntype of the assignement is Unit though.
