XSLT newbee question

[tyris]

hi all,
i do have a xml made this way :

<?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;UTF-8&quot;?>
<!DOCTYPE results SYSTEM &quot;test.dtd&quot;>
<?xml-stylesheet type=&quot;text/xsl&quot; href=&quot;search.xsl&quot;?>
<results dbname=&quot;Sales &amp; Marketings&quot;>
	<searchview name=&quot;AllDocs&quot;>
		<result>
			<url>[URL unfurl="true"]http://etc</url>[/URL]
			<icon>4</icon>
			<icon>5</icon>
			<description>abcdef</description>
		</result>
		<result>
			<url>[URL unfurl="true"]http://etc</url>[/URL]
			<description>jaehdeg</description>
		</result>
		<result>
			<url>[URL unfurl="true"]http://etc</url>[/URL]
			<icon>5</icon>
			<description>adhthsdgz</description>
		</result>		
	</searchview>
</results>

i'd like in my xsl to do this :
create in the page a <a href=&quot;......&quot;> with the value that is in the <url> tag.

i tryed this :
&lt;<a href='<xsl:value-of select=&quot;link&quot;/>' &gt;
thet problem is that it displays me the code line in the page in stead of creating a link
and if i put :

<a href='<xsl:value-of select=&quot;icon&quot;/>' >
directly it tells me file not well formed.
what can i do ?

Best regards X-),

i think there's a proper way to put it in like how you tried. i currently always use..

<a><xsl:attribute name=&quot;href&quot;>search.html?venue=<xsl:value-of select=&quot;@id&quot;/></xsl:attribute>

...

</a>

in this case i created the href to be equal to search.html with the added form entry. so in my output my the href looks like

search.html?venue=London

great thanks
i've also found this :

<a href=&quot;{link}&quot;>
<xsl:value-of select=&quot;description&quot;/>
</a>

very simple
can you help me now for an image ? something like <img src=&quot;/pics/<xsl:value-of select=&quot;icon&quot;/>.gif&quot;...
but i don't know how to finish the img tag

because in fact icon i just a number, part of an image file name :

<img src=&quot;C:\Documents and Settings\ed\My Documents\My Pictures\vwicn{icon}.gif&quot;/>

i tryed something like this
but it returns me :

<IMG
src=&quot;C:\Documents and Settings\edupont\My Documents\My Pictures\vwicn.gif&quot;> (doesn't put the icon value ) Best regards X-),

i must maybe explain more :
for each result i may have between 0 and 2 images.

i made this :
<xsl:for-each select=&quot;icon&quot;>
<td>
<img src=&quot;vwicn{icon}.gif&quot;/>
</td>
</xsl:for-each>

is the problem because i'm already in the icon node ?
what can i do to tell :
for each times you see an icon tag, create a new image.
