How do I use XSL and make a link that links to the value of something in my XML thing? I want to do something like this:

<a href=&quot;<xml:value-of select=&quot;url&quot;>&quot;><xml:value-of select=&quot;url&quot;></a>

How would I do that? I get an error whenever I try that.
 
Obviously, the problem is in your nested quotes...
Not so obvious is how to fix it...

Maybe something like this:
<a href='<xml:value-of select=&quot;url&quot;>'><xml:value-of select=&quot;url&quot;></a>

Also try:
<a href=&quot;dummy.html&quot;><xml:value-of select=&quot;url&quot;></a>
Just to see if your statement is correct...

I tried your first one an got an error ssaying that an xsl value cannot be used as an attribute.
 
The best(and only) to do this is make the elements like this :

<xsl:element name=&quot;a&quot;>
<xsl:attribute name=&quot;href&quot;>
<xsl:value-of select=&quot;url&quot;/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>

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

 
This will make the &quot;title&quot; text as a hyperlink to &quot;maindoc&quot;

<xsl:element name=&quot;a&quot;>
<xsl:attribute name=&quot;href&quot;>
<xsl:value-of select=&quot;maindoc&quot;/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select=&quot;title&quot;/>
</xsl:element>
