I think I've run into this before...you'll have to use the xsl:attribute tag

i.e., you'll want
	<a>
	   <xsl:attribute name="href">what ever text you want here<xsl:value-of
select="what_ever_xml_node_you_want"/>
	</a>

or in your case:

	<a>
	   <xsl:attribute name="href">show_tasks.jsp?pcode=<xsl:value-of
select="site_code"/>&#0026;project_number=<xsl:value-of 			select="number"
/>
	   <xsl:value-of select="number" />
	</a>

This should work

Subject: Making dynamic href's in XSL


I'm trying to build a dynamic href like this:
<xsl:if test="num_active_tasks>0"><a
href="show_tasks.jsp?pcode=<xsl:value-of select="site_code"
/>&#0026;project_number=<xsl:value-of select="number" />"><xsl:value-of
select="number" /></a>

but I get the error "The value of attribute "href" must not contain the
'<' character. ". I understand what the error means, but I'm not sure
how to get around it. Is there a better way of building a dynamic href?
