RE: [xsl] newbie question

["Michael Kay" <mhk@xxxxxxxxx>]

In XSLT 2.0:

<a href="{(link[matches(.,'^http://')],
link[matches(.,'^ftp://')])[1]}">title</a>

In 1.0:

<a>
 <xsl:attribute name="href">
  <xsl:choose>
   <xsl:when test="link(starts-with(., 'http://'))">
    <xsl:value-of select="link(starts-with(., 'http://'))"/>
   </xsl:when>
   <xsl:otherwise>
     <xsl:value-of select="link(starts-with(., 'ftp://'))"/>
   </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
 </xsl:attribute>
 title
</a>
