[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] RE: Build a select list of nodes
 Firstly, you need to get rid of this code:
<xsl:text><OPTION VALUE = "</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="name()" />
<xsl:text>"></xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="name()" />
<xsl:value-of select="$newline"/>
which is trying to generate HTML as text, not as a result tree. XSLT
stylesheets produce nodes in a tree, they don't produce text containing
markup - that's the job of the serializer.
The above should be written:
<option value="{name()}">
<xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
</option>
