Re: Creating Hyperlinks using xlink

2003-07-09 07:35:07
Thanks Jeni,

Hmm .. 

It's looks right but is still blank.

This works fine ( no xlink ):
<address
 href="http://www.footyworld.com";>www.footyworld.com</address>

<a href="{(_at_)href}"><xsl:value-of select="."/></a>


This is blank, the href value in the <a> tag, ( with xlink )
<address
 xlink:type="simple"
 xlink:href="http://www.footyworld.com";>www.footyworld.com.au</address>

<a href="{(_at_)xlink:href}"><xsl:value-of select="."/></a></td>

Sounds crazy hey ?
I've trimmed the code back to these few lines so it's quick to read.
I hope they are still sufficient enough.

Tonight is the last night where I use a browser only for rendering 
transformations. I'll using a command line processor from now on.

Thanks
Kind regards
Rudi.

Hi Rudi,

For example this line from my 'address' xsl:template,
<a href="{xlink:simple/@href}"><xsl:value-of select="."/></a>,
in the rendered html document the {xlink:simple/@href} is blank but the
<xsl:value-of select="."/> is fine.

The value you want for the href attribute is the value of the
xlink:href attribute on the current <address> element. Currently
you're selecting the href attribute of an <xlink:simple> element,
which doesn't exist. Try:

  <a href="{(_at_)xlink:href}"><xsl:value-of select="." /></a>

Cheers,

Jeni
