AW: Hyperlinks [newbie Q]

Hi Aaron,

Here is a short stylesheet giving you your desired output:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
        <xsl:output method="html" indent="no" encoding="UTF-8"/>
        <xsl:template match="/">
                <html>
                        <head>
                                <title>Hyperlink Test Page</title>
                        </head>
                        <body>
                                <xsl:apply-templates/>
                        </body>
                </html>
        </xsl:template>
        <xsl:template match="text">
                <p>
                        <!-- looks for further child elements within <p>, text 
is output -->
                        <xsl:apply-templates/>
                </p>
        </xsl:template>
        <xsl:template match="link">
                <a href="{(_at_)url}">
                        <xsl:apply-templates/>
                </a>
        </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


Output:

<html>
        <head>
                <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; 
charset=UTF-8" />
                <title>Hyperlink Test Page</title>
        </head>
        <body>
        This is some welcome text
        <a href="http://www.somthing.co.uk";>XML Hyperlink</a>
        </body>
</html>

Altough you can get the same output using an optimized version of your 
<xsl:for-each> instructions,
working with <xsl:apply-templates/> is easier and makes your code more 
maintainable.

HTH

Betreff: [Maybe spam] [xsl] Hyperlinks [newbie Q]

Hi...

I would like the text 'XML Hyperlink' to be a link on the 
rendered html page.

I want it so that if you need to change the url, you change 
it in the xml rather than in the xsl.

How do I get the xsl to make this a hyper link? 

XML:

<welcome>
      <text>This is some welcome text</text>
      <link url="http://www.somthing.co.uk";>XML 
Hyperlink</link> </welcome>

XSL so far:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="html" indent="no" encoding="UTF-8"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
      <html>

      <xsl:for-each select="welcome/text">
      <p><xsl:value-of select="."/></p>
      </xsl:for-each>

      <xsl:for-each select="welcome/link">
      <p<xsl:value-of select="."/></p>
      </xsl:for-each>

      </html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


Does any one have any pointers to tutorials? Any help would 
be appreciated thank you.

Aaron
