RE: Building html links in xml

2003-12-17 10:18:03

In the example below, I want to show the description for a 
product as a link.  I have problems with the "<" and ">" and 
the "&" in the URL. If I don't encode these characters then I 
get errors, as expected.  However if I encode all of the 
special characters like they are supposed to be, then my page 
displays the link as text, not as a link.

What do I have to do to make the display render as a link and 
not text.

I hope that makes sense.

Not really :)

What does your <a> matching template look like?  It should look something like:

<xsl:template match="a">
  <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>

Posting some xslt here would help
