IMAGE TAG NOT WORKING

[thunderain]

I am working on my first major xml project. I have everything working pretty well working
except putting an image in. I have tried many different things, but here is what i have now.
I cannot get the image to appear except as hardcoded below.

Here is what I have in my XML:

<images>
<img src=&quot;xxx.jpg&quot;/>
</images>

(this is inside songsite and song tags)

Here is what I have in my XSL:

<P/><xsl:value-of select=&quot;/songsite/song/images&quot;/>
<img>
<xsl:attribute name=&quot;src&quot;>
<xsl:value-of select=&quot;@src&quot; />
</xsl:attribute>
</img>

If i hardcode my jpg file into the xsl code on the third line, as below, the image pops up.

<xsl:attribute name=&quot;src&quot;>xxx.jpg

But i can't do this, I need to send it from the xml sheet

Can anyone help me

thank you

Instead of using <img> tags I believe you will need to allow the xsl to create the element for you. Try this:

<xsl:element value=&quot;img&quot;>
   <xsl:attribute name=&quot;src&quot;><xsl:value-of select=&quot;@src&quot; /></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>

The reason I killed the extra whitespace in the attribute nis that I have noticed if you leave it in when building hrefs, it actuially tries to leave it in your transoformed html, giving you href's with a great deal of whitespace that some browser dislike.
Hope that helps,

Sorry about taking so long to get back to this, but your answer helped out, but with some modifications, i put in the path in the value-of select and it worked.

<xsl:element name=&quot;img&quot;>
<xsl:attribute name=&quot;src&quot;><xsl:value-of select=&quot;/songsite/song/albumimage/img/@src&quot; /></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name=&quot;alt&quot;><xsl:value-of select=&quot;/songsite/song/albumimage/img/@alt&quot; /></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>

Thanx
