Re: Extract attribute from markup returned by extensio

(a) do you want an XSLT 1.0 or 2.0 solution?

(b) how robust must it be? Do you have to deal with pathological input such
as

<img alt='src="this/is/a/decoy"' src="this/is/real"/>

Subject: Extract attribute from markup returned by extension function

Hello,

An XSL extension function returns markup such as <img src="/path/to/image.jpg" border="0" alt="" />. I can't guarantee the / will be provided so it may not be XML markup. I am only interested in the value of the src attribute. I am hoping the code can be as flexible as possible (attributes could appear in any order, and it would be nice to support single quotes (') in addition to double-quotes (") in the data. I was thinking of starting with the string functions, but I am curious if there might be a better way.

TIA,

-John
