Passing "value-of select" values withing HTML tags on XSL page

[notrut]

Hi, I'm pretty new to XML and XSL and I was wondering if it is possible to use value-of select values within HTML tags. (I.E. I want to pass a the same value-of select value to a JavaScript Function and use that same value-of select value as an <A HREF ...>).


Here's the code that I have:

</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match=&quot;//Stop&quot;>
<tr>
<td class = &quot;gDescription&quot;>
<A HREF=&quot;JavaScriptopluateStop(<xsl:value-of select=&quot;@No&quot;/> )&quot;>
<xsl:value-of select=&quot;@No&quot;/></A> - <xsl:value-of select=&quot;@Name&quot;/>
</td>
</tr>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>


However, this does not work because I have two < <. I've tried using the &quot;& lt;&quot; and the &quot;& gt; &quot;but then it just writes the <A HREF etc to the screen.

Is there anyway around this????

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

you need to build the HTML anchor element using xsl:element and xsl:attribute

Hi Palbano,

I tried doing this and the page loads properly, however, when I click on the link, I get an error:

</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match=&quot;//Stop&quot;>
<tr>
<td class = &quot;gDescription&quot;>
<xsl:element name=&quot;Stop&quot;>
<xsl:attribute name=&quot;StopNum&quot;><xsl:value-of select=&quot;@No&quot;/></xsl:attribute>
<A HREF=&quot;JavaScriptopluateStop(#StopNum)&quot;><xsl:value-of select=&quot;@No&quot;/></A> - <xsl:value-of select=&quot;@Name&quot;/>
</xsl:element>
</td>
</tr>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

I still am not able to get the #StopNum in the JavaScript function. Is this the correct way of using the xsl:element and attribute's????

<xsl:template match=&quot;Stop&quot;>
	<xsl:element name=&quot;a&quot;>
		<xsl:attribute name=&quot;href&quot;>
			Javascript:PopulateStop(<xsl:value-of select=&quot;@No&quot;/>);
		</xsl:attribute>
		<xsl:value-of select=&quot;@No&quot;/>
	</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

Question: What about the {} shorthand? I have used this method in the past and just wondered if there was any reason not to use it?
