There are many syntaxes given to insert a link. I have used them all but none of them are working like that of HTML Hyperlinks. How to insert a hyperlink in xml page and how to display it using xsl?

Are you displaying your XML file in a browser by using XSL to convert the XML to HTML? (this only works in IE 5 or higher).
If this is what you mean then you should have a reference to the XSL sheet in your XML file:
XML file (test.xml)
------------------
[red]<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="test.xsl"?>
<item>
<content>click here</content>
</item>[/red]
XSL file (test.xsl)
------------------
[red]<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="<xsl:template match="/">
[tab]Here's a link:
[tab]<a href=" select="item/content"/></a>
</xsl:template>[/red]
In this case, the content of the link (the phrase "click here"
is grabbed from the XML file and inserted. If you want to insert a value from your XML file as the href of the link, then you have to put the value in a separate xsl:attribute tag after the link.
Is this what you are referring to or did I misunderstand your question? [sig]<p>--Will Duty<br><a href=mailto:wduty@radicalfringe.com>wduty@radicalfringe.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br> [/sig]
