Re: How to embed xsl:value-of into html tag

Wendall,
I'm trying to do the exact same thing, except for 10 URL's in a row.
When I use the AVT, it won't advance past my fisrt URL, but I use a value
of select for what is displayed on the screen and that advances fine:
It displays the proper text, but all 10 point to the same URL, the first
one.
Ex:
<A HREF="/details?pn={/hitlist/patn}"><xsl:value-of select="."/></A>
XML
<hitlist>
<patn>1</patn>
<patn>2</patn>
......
<patn>10</patn>
</hitlist>
thanks,
chris

Subject: Re: How to embed xsl:value-of into html tag
Hi Joan,
You want an attribute value template, like so:
<xsl:template match="productName">
<input type="text" name="productName"
value='{.}' size="25" maxlength="30" />
</xsl:template>
There's another way to do it with <xsl:attribute>, but this is the easy
way.
It's not a workaround either. An AVT (recognize it by the { } ) is
explicitly provided as a way of saying "inside this attribute, evaluate
this expression instead of taking it as a literal."
Have a blast,
Wendell
