Hi Im fairly new to xml too but ill have a crack at your question,

Ok in your XML file you can give a path to your image
and the place that it links to
for example...

The following is a image on google that when clicked on would link to google.co.uk...

<image>
<path>

http://www.google.co.uk/images/hp0.gif</path>

<link>

http://www.google.co.uk</link>

</image>

and then in your XSL document it would look something like this...

<?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;ISO-8859-1&quot;?>
<xsl:stylesheet version=&quot;1.0&quot; xmlns:xsl=&quot;

http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform&quot;>

<xsl:template match=&quot;/&quot;>
<xsl:for-each select=&quot;image&quot;>

<a><xsl:attribute name=&quot;href&quot;>
<xsl:value-of select=&quot;link&quot; />
</xsl:attribute>
<img><xsl:attribute name=&quot;src&quot;>
<xsl:value-of select=&quot;path&quot; />
</xsl:attribute>
</img>
</a>
</xsl:for-each>

</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


hope this helps, the xsl:attirbute allow you to insert values from the xml file into the html document.

The for-each loops around each image but seeing as there is only 1 it would only display once.

Good luck

ps. the post above has &quot;;&quot; after the link and path, the xml and xsl dont need them i dont know why it adds them in after i posted the reply!
