In your above example, the xsl:attribute has three children: 1/ one text node starting with a newline then spaces then a '#', 2/ the xsl:value-of element and 3/ a text node starting with '_cost' then a newline then spaces. Because they are not only-whitespaces-text-nodes, the text nodes are not ignored by the XSLT processor. You have to solutions: 1/ correct the text nodes in your stylesheet or 2/ use xsl:text: <xsl:attribute name="href">#<xsl:value-of select="translate($namevar,' ','_')"/>_cost</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="href"> <xsl:text>#</xsl:text> <xsl:value-of select="translate($namevar,' ','_')"/> <xsl:text>_cost</xsl:text> </xsl:attribute> The use of xsl:text let you keep a correctly indented code. Personnally, I *always* use xsl:text when I want to generate a text node (except maybe in literal elements). That helps to avoid such errors.
