Re: [xsl] <xsl:value-of...> not getting through

[George Cristian Bina <george@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Sebastian,

The problem is probably in some other place (maybe in the XML file) that 
you did not show us. For instance the following XML and XSLT

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<item link="test.html">test.html</item>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
  <xsl:template match="item">
    <xsl:if test="./@link">
      <a href="{./@link}"><xsl:value-of select="." /></a><br />
    </xsl:if>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

give

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><a href="test.html">test.html</a><br/>

So as you see the test.html text inside the a element is there as expected.

Best regards,
George
