XSLT/XML question

[zpellzlinger]

I am trying to write the following using xslt.


<a href= "pics/colosseum.jpg"> Roman Colosseum </a>


I am having problems with the tag. The “Roman Colosseum” gets replaced with <xsl:value-of select="name"/> which works fine but when I try to make it a link I am missing something with the syntax. The following is the complete statement but does not work.

<a href= <xsl:value-of select="name"/>><xsl:value-of select="name"/></a>



Thank you for your time,

If you need further clarification let me know, I tried to be as clear as I could be but sometimes when you are working inside something you don’t see the whole picture.


Any suggestions on how to get this to work would be welcome.

You will want to use xsl:attribute:

For example,

<a>
 <xsl:attribute name="href"><xsl:value-of select="name"/></xsl:attribute>
 <xsl:value-of select="name"/>
</a>
