Re: Document() and &

This solution doesn't work for me. I see a similar problem, as described
in
http://www.biglist.com/lists/xsl-list/archives/200205/msg01557.html

The problem is that I need to take a URL from an XML file, and put it
into an attribute of a tag in the HTML file being generated.

Many thanks,
Zack
