Re: Creating Hyperlinks and Bookmarks with XSL

[Guy_Murphy@xxxxxxxxxx]

Hi.

With IE5b2 you might get further with...

 <xsl:for-each select="FAQs">
    <ul>
       <xsl:for-each select="item/title">
          <li>
                    <a>
                    <xsl:attribute name="href">
                              #<xsl:value-of select="@bookmark"/>
                    </xsl:attribute>
                         <xsl:value-of/>
                    </a>
          </li>
     </xsl:for-each>
    </ul>
 </xsl:for-each>

If you're going to use the IE5b2 parser you might want to check the MS
documentation at http://www.microsoft.com/xml/

Cheers
     Guy.

Subject:  Creating Hyperlinks and Bookmarks with XSL




Hi,
    Could someone please help with creating html hyperlinks & bookmarks via
XSL ?
    I'm trying to create a style sheet for an html page of  "FAQ's". A
simplified version on the xml file looks like this...
 ...
 <FAQs>
    <item bookmark="1">
       <title>question number 1</title>
       <descr>bla bla bla</descr>
    </item>
    <item bookmark="2">
       <title>question number 2</title>
       <descr>bla bla bla</descr>
    </item>
 </FAQs>
    I can produce an html page that has a list of the titles at the top of
the page, followed by all the items with their title and description but
I'm
having trouble making the list of titles into hyper links that point to the
appropriate bookmark.
    To extract the bookmark I have tried using...
 <xsl:for-each select="FAQs">
    <ul>
       <xsl:for-each select="item/title">
       <li>
          <a href="#{@bookmark}">
          <xsl:value-of select="@bookmark"/>
          <xsl:value-of/>
          </a>
       </li>
    </ul>
 </xsl:for-each>
  However, this does not evaluate <a href="#{@bookmark}"> but simply uses
this as a string value. Is this a bug in the IE5 parser or am I doing some
thing wrong ?
    If this is a problem with IE5, can someone suggest a different parser
that I can use (please note I'm not a java programmer so I need a dll or
exe
is possible).
    Finally, I originally tried to create the bookmarks automatically using
the xsl:counter but this also failed. Could that also be due to the IE5
parser ?
