Paul CleverleySubject: embed in href=''
Author: Paul Cleverley

Hi

Newbie question - sorry if it's trivial.

My XSL stylesheet contains and tag (xsl:output is html). I need to insert an XML element value as the href value.

Patently, "> generates an error.

I appreciate this has got to be a fairly common requirement but I can't find examples or help on this anywhere. Any ideas?

Many thanks
Paul

Hi Paul,
you have the choice between two syntaxes:

a) <a href="{URL}"/>
b) <xsl:element name="a">
<xsl:attribute name="href">
<xsl:value-of select="URL"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>

Hope this helps,
Alberto

Nearly but not quite - I can't get the { to work at all so I tried it with xsl:element and ran into this problem. The HTML I want is:



where xurl and xsrc are the xsl:value-of results of two XML elements.

with the route I can do the tag but I can't then embed the tag inside it - it generates and error...

Help??

Cheers
Paul

Strange; <a href="{URL}"><img
src="{PICTURE}"></img></a>
works fine for me. Remember, you need to put between { and } the XPath
expressions only, not the entire xsl:value-of (the { } syntax is a shortcut
for xsl:value-of)

To embed the IMG tag with the second construct, you need to nest another
xsl:element statement inside the first one, like

<xsl:element name="A">
<xsl:attribute name="href">
<xsl:value-of select="URL"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:element name="IMG">
<xsl:attribute name="src">
<xsl:value-of select="PICTURE"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:element>
