Re: Building Dynamic Urls

<xsl:variable name="newURL">
    <xsl:value-of select="$url"/>
    <xsl:if test="child::area">
        <xsl:text>?area=</xsl:text>
        <xsl:value-of select="area"/>
    </xsl:if>
    <xsl:if test="child::action">
        <xsl:text>?action=</xsl:text>
        <xsl:value-of select="action"/>
    </xsl:if>
    <xsl:if test="child::page">
        <xsl:text>?page=</xsl:text>
        <xsl:value-of select="page"/>
    </xsl:if>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of select="$newURL"/>

with
<xsl:param name="url" select="'http://www.example.com/test'"/>
and
<area>1</area>
<action>2</action>
<page>3</page>
in the source will give you
http://www.example.com/test?area=1?action=2?page=3

Hi all,

I am wanting to build dynamic urls in xslt by using string concatenation,
unless there is a better way. My stylesheet will be sent a $url parameter to
provide the base of the url. From their my logic is as follows:
<xsl:if test="child::area">
Building_url = $url and "?area=" and <xsl:value-of select="area"/>
</xsl:if>

<xsl:if test="child::action">
  Building_url = $url and "&action=" and <xsl:value-of select="action"/>
</xsl:if>

<xsl:if test="child::page">
  Building_url = $url and "&page=" and <xsl:value-of select="page"/>
</xsl:if>

I as I understand it, xsl variables can't be changed once given a value.
So what would be the best way to go about building these dynamic urls.

Help appreciated!

Cheers, Adam
