Hello,

I am stuck with XSL 1.0. I don't think I have to work with any wacky data.

Thanks & regards,

-John

as

<img alt='src="this/is/a/decoy"' src="this/is/real"/>

Hello,

An XSL extension function returns markup such as <img src="/path/to/image.jpg" border="0" alt="" />. I can't guarantee the / will be provided so it may not be XML markup. I am only interested in the value of the src attribute. I am hoping the code can be as flexible as possible (attributes could appear in any order, and it would be nice to support single quotes (') in addition to double-quotes (") in the data. I was thinking of starting with the string functions, but I am curious if there might be a better way.

TIA,

-John
