RE: How to embed xsl:value-of into html tag

Hi Joan,
	What is it that you're trying to achieve ?
You have in your XSL '<xsl:value-of select="."/>'
to be the value of 'value' yet you have 'XML Bible'
as the desired output.

Is it that you want 'XML Bible' to be the output ? If that
is the case maybe you can build up an attribute containing
value='XML Bible' e.g.

<xsl:template name="input">
	<input>
		<xsl:attribute name="value"><xsl:value-of select="'XML
Bible'"/></xsl:attribute>
		<!-- Add other attributes -->
	</input>
</xsl:template>

That would output

<input value="XML Bible"></input>

You can build up an attribute set,etc. which would simplify the process.

Hi,

I can't get this working. value of the input field will be <xsl:value-of
select=".">
instead of the real name -- XML Bible. I guess XSLT will not transform any
XSL statement inside
a html tag.

Any workaround will be really appreciated. Thanks,
Joan

=============xsl code=================
<xsl:template match="productName">

	<input type="text" name="productName" value='&lt;xsl:value-of
select="."/&gt;' size="25" maxlength="30" />

</xsl:template>

=============xml code================
<?xml version="1.0"?>

<productName> XML Bible </productName>

=============output==============
<input type="text" name="productName" value='<xsl:value-of select="."/>'
size ="25" maxlength="30" />

==========what I want==============
<input type="text" name="productName" value='XML Bible'  size ="25"
maxlength="30" />
