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

[rugowski at us dot ibm dot com]

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

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
