a href variable
Hi Vincent,

You can try one of two things.

The traditional way of doing this is to use the <xsl:attribute/> element
like this:
<a class="navigation" id="selected">
	<xsl:attribute name="href"><xsl:value-of select="url"
/></xsl:attribute>
	<xsl:value-of select="title" />
</a>

Alternatively you can try encoding your output xml/xhtml tags.
&lt;a class="navigation" id="selected" href="<xsl:value-of select="url" />"
&gt;
	<xsl:value-of select="title" />
&lt;/a&gt;

The second method can is a good way to go if you are using the XSLT on the
client in Mozilla based browsers as it tends to be much faster.

MSDN has a very good XSLT 1.0 reference here:

Cheers,
Dave

Subject:  <a class="..." href="..." problem

Hi all,

I just began with xsl two days ago, so sorry for this maybe stupid
question.

I am trying to write some xsl stylesheets but I encounter some problems
with next xsl document. 

As you can see it in the "chapter" template section, I try to enumerate
all menu entries through two XPath nodes. <title> corresponds to the
label displayed on the web page and <url> corresponding to the link
pointing to the web page. 

This is working fine except the href variable. It seems I cannot insert
some <xsl:... /> tag into some double quotes being part of another tag.

How can I solve this problem ?

Regards 
Vincent
