Hi,
Given:
<!ENTITY ST_URL "< a href='http://www.blah.com/b.pl?A=">
<!ENTITY EN_URL "'>click here </a>">
Declared in the DTD, is there a way I can include these in XSL in a
manner that would form a link which Ie5 will interpret as a link?
I am trying to construct a query_string for each product, sort of like:
&ST_URL;<xsl:value-of select="ID">&EN_URL;
Where ID is a string like ISBN-0909.78WHATEVER, to form:
<a href='http://www.blah.com/b.pl?A=ISBN-0909.78WHATEVER'>Click here</a>
If those entities are used without the ascii codes, IE5 just ignores
the <A> tag and displays "click here". We have tried using xlink as
well, but it seems that IE5 doesn't bother with xlink either. *sigh*
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
