Re: [xsl] a quick question re:   html entity

Hi Terence,
Have you tried to open the resulting page with a browser (if it is an HTML
page)?
If not try it.
In fact I often use:
<a href="/Foobar.html?p1=v1&amp;p2={value-from-node}">...</a>
or
<form
name="frm" method="post" action="/Foobar.html?p1=v1&amp;p2={value-from-node}>
...
</form>
and it works!
That is the &amp; inside the attribute is correctly interpreted by
browsers
as "&".
Cheers,
