Newbie question here - couldn't find something applicable in other posts...
I'm trying to create an <a> tag with the href attribute based partially on text
and partially on a unique ID. The final output should be <a
href="AQ2004_56_1_X.xml">, where X is the ID number of the article. When I try
something like...
<a>
<xsl:attribute name="href">
<xsl:text>AQ2004_56_1_
</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="article_id" />
<xsl:text>.xml</xsl:text>
</xsl:attribute>
...the text bits show up when the page is rendered as part of the href path,
but the value-of bit with the article_id is nowhere to be found. I've tested
the value-of statement elsewhere in the document and it will pull the
article_id number just fine. I'm just trying to figure out what I'm missing -
is there some reason this won't show up?
Applicable code excerpts are below from xml and xslt docs. The "article_id" as
both an attribute and an element in the xml is part of one of my earlier (not
so successful) attempts at a fix. Any help anyone could give me would be most
appreciated! Thank you.
