I figured it out(was: no subject (sorry 'bout that))

I found a sample by viewing the xsl source on one of the MS pages.
Here's what I did in case anyone's interested.

  <xsl:template match="graphic">
    <embed>
      <xsl:attribute name="type">application/x-isoview</xsl:attribute>
      <xsl:attribute name="src"><xsl:value-of
select="@BOARDNO"/></xsl:attribute>
      <xsl:attribute name="border">1</xsl:attribute>
      <xsl:attribute name="width">400</xsl:attribute>
      <xsl:attribute name="height">300</xsl:attribute>
      <xsl:attribute name="view">Start</xsl:attribute>
    </embed>
  </xsl:template>

have a good day,
steve

Hi,
I'm attemping to grab the value of an attribute and stuff it into a embed/src
statement to display
in IE5 but haven't figured a way to make it happen. I've searched in the archive
and read
that xsl:variable isn't supported in IE5. I tried anyway to no avail. My last
attempt is using the
{} syntax for value-of which didn't give me an error but didn't display my cgm
files. The cgm
does display if I put it directly in the src, like src="123.cgm", so I know the
embed is working.

Any help would be greatly appreciated by this budding novice.

Here's the XML snip:
<graphic BOARDNO="00018.cgm"></graphic>

Here's the XSL snip:
  <xsl:template match="graphic">
    <div align="center">
    <embed type="application/x-isoview" src={@BOARDNO} border="1" width="400"
height="300" view="Start"/>
    <!--
^^^^^ problem ^^^   -->
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </div><p/>
   </xsl:template>

have a good day,
steve
