Re: Linking to other queries.

Kara,

Oh, I see. Try:

 <xsl:template match='Author'>
 <A class="special" href="{@href}">Author: <xsl:apply-templates/></A>
 </xsl:template>

The { and } are a short-form for <xsl:value-of select="node"/>.

Note: If you want to write a stylesheet for IE5, you won't be able to use the
shortcut. You'll have to use:

 <xsl:template match='Author'>
 <A class="special">
<xsl:attribute name="href"><xsl:value-of select="@href"/></xsl:attribute>
Author: <xsl:apply-templates/></A>
 </xsl:template>

Good luck,

Richard.
