Subject: [xsl] Transforming into embedded HTML From: "jmabbate" <jmabbate@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 6 Jun 2002 23:36:39 -0400 |
I am trying to convert a web page that in essence is a directory of members of a local association. A typical entry looks something like this: ABC Company John Smith 123 Main Street john@xxxxxxxxx The last item, the email address, is presented as a link. In other words, the actual html is <a href="mailto:john@xxxxxxxxx">john@xxxxxxxxx</a> I created an XML version of the directory along these lines <directory> <member> <company>ABC Company</company> <contact>John Smith</contact> <address>123 Main Street</address> <email>john@xxxxxxxxx</email> </member> ... </directory> To display this as HTML, I created an XSL file with a <xsl:for-each select="directory/member"> loop. The trouble I'm having is with the email. I basically need to include john@xxxxxxxxx both as a value for the href attribute and as plain text. As far as I can tell, the commands cannot be nested like this <a href="mailto:<xsl:value-of select="email"/>"><xsl:value-of select="email"/></a> I tried escaping the angle brackets and quotes as follows: <a href="mailto:<xsl:value-of select="email"/>"><xsl:value-of select="email"/></a><br /> but the resulting html displays the <a href= ...> instead of a link. I'm using a Javascript under MSIE 6.0 to test the transformation. It seems to me that this is not a unusual transformation but I have looked in the XSL-List archives and XSL FAQ and couldn't find anything on this topic. Thanks in advance for any insights.
