hello everybody,
                        i apologize for posting so many supposed no-brainers
but i'm new to XML and still learning how to use it. this time my problem
has to do with referencing a portion of my XMLdoucment using HTML
hyperlinks. Basically I have a "Table of Contents"  that has hyperlimked
titles which when clicked should allow the user the access the relevant part
of the document. When I view my output, the constituents  of  "Table of
Contents" does appear as hyperlinks but when i click on them, nothing
happens (i dont even get an error message). the relevant part of the code is
as follows:

         XML document
*******************************

	<toc>
		<title>
			MAIN COMPONENT - GENERAL INFORMATION
		</title>
			<topic toc1="#contactor">
			DC CONTACTOR, 41A296327AM
			</topic>
			<topic toc1="#func_desc">
				FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
			</topic>
			<topic toc1="#clean">
				CLEANING
			</topic>
			 <topic toc1="#lube">
				LUBRICATION
			</topic>
			<topic toc1="#clean">
				INSPECTION
			</topic>
            </toc>

    In the document, I have also have another attribute (toc2) that is
defined in the location that the hyperlink should point to, i.e. for example
for  INSPECTION
    the text is located in the following element:


                        <activity type="INSPECTION"  toc2="inspect">


   I am using the values of toc1 and toc2 in the stylesheet as follows:

			XSL Document
 
****************************************************************************
*****


<xsl:template match="pub/toc">
	<h3><xsl:value-of select="title"/></h3>
		<table>
			<xsl:for-each select="topic">
		    	<tr>
		    		<td>
		    	    			<a>
							<xsl:attribute
name="href">
	
<xsl:value-of select="@toc1"/>
							</xsl:attribute>
							<xsl:value-of
select="."/>
						</a>
					</td>
				</tr>
			</xsl:for-each>
		</table>
</xsl:template> 

also later in the stylesheet, i have the following <a></a> tag:


<xsl:template match="activity">
	<a>
		<xsl:attribute name="name">
			<xsl:value-of select="@toc2"/>
		</xsl:attribute>
	</a>	
	<h4><xsl:value-of select="@type"/></h4>
	<xsl:apply-templates/>		
</xsl:template>

I am unable to find the error. Please help. I would really appreciate it.

Thanks a lot, 
Dhruv
