Subject: [xsl] pulling ID or value-of inside attribute From: Benjamin Graff <benjamin.graff@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 06 Dec 2004 23:58:44 -0500 |
Newbie question here - couldn't find something applicable in other posts... I'm trying to create an <a> tag with the href attribute based partially on text and partially on a unique ID. The final output should be <a href="AQ2004_56_1_X.xml">, where X is the ID number of the article. When I try something like... <a> <xsl:attribute name="href"> <xsl:text>AQ2004_56_1_ </xsl:text> <xsl:value-of select="article_id" /> <xsl:text>.xml</xsl:text> </xsl:attribute> ...the text bits show up when the page is rendered as part of the href path, but the value-of bit with the article_id is nowhere to be found. I've tested the value-of statement elsewhere in the document and it will pull the article_id number just fine. I'm just trying to figure out what I'm missing - is there some reason this won't show up? Applicable code excerpts are below from xml and xslt docs. The "article_id" as both an attribute and an element in the xml is part of one of my earlier (not so successful) attempts at a fix. Any help anyone could give me would be most appreciated! Thank you. ***XML excerpt*** <journal> <table_of_contents> <article article_id="14"> <article_id>14</article_id> <article_type>Book Review</article_type> <title>From Sit-ins to "Shirt-ins": Why Consumer Politics Matter More than Ever</title> <author>Kathy M.
