Re: dynamic href generation in xsl

["Russell Allen" <rallen@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't know how 'correct' this is but I finally got it to work with the
following snippet:


<xsl:element name="A">
    <xsl:attribute name="href">
        servlet/lookup?member=<xsl:value-of select="MEMBNO"/>
    </xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>
<xsl:value-of select="NAME"/>
<xsl:element name="/A">
</xsl:element>



Any comments?

Thanks all,
Russell.
