Put it in curly braces { } eg href="blah.location={$testvar}" ^ ^ or build the attribute: <xsl:attribute name="href"> <xsl:text>location=</xsl:text> <xsl:value-of select="$testvar"/> </xsl:attribute> Some other points about your post: - are you intending to transform client side? If so you can only use XSLT 1.0 - never use notepad! It will break you eventually... there are plenty of XSLT editors out there and even more XML editors, any of those are better than notepad.
