Re: Creating Hyperlinks using xlink

Thanks Jeni,

Hmm .. 

It's looks right but is still blank.

This works fine ( no xlink ):
<address
 href="http://www.footyworld.com">www.footyworld.com</address>

<a href="{@href}"><xsl:value-of select="."/></a>


This is blank, the href value in the <a> tag, ( with xlink )
<address
 xlink:type="simple"
 xlink:href="http://www.footyworld.com">www.footyworld.com.au</address>

<a href="{@xlink:href}"><xsl:value-of select="."/></a></td>

Sounds crazy hey ?
I've trimmed the code back to these few lines so it's quick to read.
I hope they are still sufficient enough.

Tonight is the last night where I use a browser only for rendering 
transformations. I'll using a command line processor from now on.

Thanks
Kind regards
Rudi.
