Hey everyone,

I have been trying to figure this out all day to no avail. I am trying to insert XML data into a hyperlink in two locations. For instance I need the URL to look like this:

/catalog/product/index.cgi?catalog_number=<INSERT XML DATA HERE>&inE=1&highlight=<INSERT XML DATA HERE>

<xsl:variable name="prod">
<xsl:value-of select="Prod_No" />
</xsl:variable>
<a href="/catalog/product/index.cgi?catalog_number={$prod}">
<xsl:value-of select="Prod_No" />

Using the code above I can add the attribute prod multiple times until I get to the &inE=1&highlight= part of the hyperlink. I think the & is causing a problem. Any suggestions on how to make the code below work???

<xsl:variable name="prod">
<xsl:value-of select="Prod_No" />
</xsl:variable>
<a href="/catalog/product/index.cgi?catalog_number={$prod}&inE=1&highlight={$prod}">
<xsl:value-of select="Prod_No" />

THANKS!!!

& is a reserved character in XML you have to escape it using a XML entity; replace & with &

Hope this helps

Solved the issue using the following code and calling the variable {amp} whenever needed:

<xsl:variable name="amp">&</xsl:variable>
