RE: Creating Hyperlinks and Bookmarks with XSL

IE5 doesn't support the {} inside of attribute values.  You need to use the
alternative syntax.

	 
	 <xsl:for-each select="FAQs">
	    <ul>
	       <xsl:for-each select="item/title">
	       <li>
	          <!--- <a href="#{@bookmark}"> replace with the following
line -->
	          <a><xsl:attribute name = "href"><xsl:value-of select =
"@bookmark" /></xsl:attribute></a>
	          <xsl:value-of select="@bookmark"/>
	          <xsl:value-of/>
	          </a>
	       </li>
	    </ul>
 </xsl:for-each>
