Newbie Question: Hyperlink in XML

organ · Apr 19, 2006

If this one is a question asked over and over, I apologize for that. It frustrates me a lot: how to embed a hyperlink into an xml file?
For example, I have
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html (View Source for full doctype...)>
- <html xmlns="

http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"

xml:lang="en" lang="en">
- <body>
- <p>
Moved to
<a href="

http://example.org/"

shape="rect">example.org</a>
.
</p>
</body>
</html>

How to make the 'href' work so when I click it points to the webpage? I tried xlink, it didn't work.

Thanks a lot.

Rename the supposedly xhtml compliant .xml page to .htm. Your page as such will not validate but the browser will automatically downgrade itself to some quirk mode. If you mean within .xml itself? No, I don't think so.

Sorry I didn't explain well.
Yeah I mean within the .xml, I want to embed a hyper link, something like:

<a href="

http://www.example.org/"

shape="rect">example.org</a>

but in an xml-supported format, so if I click on the link, it brings me to the website.
Thanks!
