xsl question... 1

[karen4201]

Hi,

I couldn't find an XSL forum, so I thought I'd post my question here.

I'm trying to create a hyperlink based on a value-of. Here is the code, which is not working:

<a href='<xsl:value-of select="myURL"/>' >the link</a>

How could I get this to work?

Thanks in advance.

Why is not working? What are you getting?

Cheers,
Dian

><a href='<xsl:value-of select="myURL"/>' >the link</a>
[tt]<xsl:variable name="x" select="myURL" />
<a href="{$x}">the link</a>
[/tt]

Thanks for the vote. Just a note. If you really want an one-liner, you can do this closest to what you posted.
[tt] <a href='&lt;xsl:value-of select="myURL"/&gt;'>the link</a>[/tt]
So yours is not that far. Nevertheless, a breaking up as I'd shown may be easier to read.

Correction:
After put it to test, my addition note above is _wrong_ afterall! Sorry! If does not compile, only errorless literal. So in a word, it is wrong, period.

Please disregard the last post!

Or simply:

<a href='{myURL}'>the link</a>
