Jesse,

At 01:57 PM 6/12/2002, you wrote:

I want to use the course titles as the value parameters of the HTML
option tag, but the following doesn't work:

   <option value="$courseTitle">
      <xsl:value-of select="$courseNo" />
   </option>

For this you want to use a handy construction known as "attribute value templates".

Try <option value="{$courseTitle}">...

The brackets in a literal result attribute (also allowed in a few other places) say to the processor "evaluate this and stick the result in". Otherwise '$courseTitle' is taken to be a string like any other (as you no doubt discovered).

Enjoy,
Wendell
