xml-dev - RE: Problem with substituting XSL @ variable into a hyper link

["Brandt Dainow" <bd@internet-etc.com>]

You're putting XSL syntax inside HTML.  HTML has no XSL functionality.  What
you want to do is make HTMl part of your XSL output.  Try this something
like this
<template match = "someElement">
	<a href=http://www.bancal.com/servlet/<xsl:value-of select="@id"/>>
</template>

Thus you are wrapping the XSL values with HTML at output level
