You want an attribute value template:
<a name="Introduction" href="javascript:location='#Introduction';
parent.main_body.location={$testvar};
parent.right_side.location='section_1_tools.xml'">
<img src="Bullets/SmallBlueBullet.gif" align="absmiddle"
border ="0" alt="{string(Heading2)}" /> </a>
Odd thing is, you're already using one successfully in the img/@alt
attribute!

Subject: [xsl] Passing an XSLT variable into a <a name="Ixxx"
href="javascript:location= line.
Please forgive me if this posted twice ... I had a powercut
as I hit send
earlier.
I am a real newbie to XSLT, creating a simple proof of
concept application
so that my employers might see the value of transforming and
presenting some
XML from a very large Excel spreadsheet.
I am using notepad as the editor and the application is check
in and will be
displayed in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6. (MSXML). I am
attempting to use
XSLT 2.0 as described in Dr Tennison's book.
For the demo, the application has three frames controlled by
a menu in one
frame. The menu, and other documents, are created by
transforming XML
pulled from Excel. Bookmark is a field in the Excel that
exists in each
mode of the XML. The creation of textvar works as I wish
(xsl:value-of
demonstrates this to me).
The pertinent code extract is ...
...
<xsl:variable name ="testvar"
select="concat('Section_1#',Bookmark)" as=
"xs:string" />
<a name="Introduction" href="javascript:location='#Introduction';
parent.main_body.location=$testvar;
parent.right_side.location='section_1_tools.xml'">
<img src="Bullets/SmallBlueBullet.gif" align="absmiddle"
border ="0" alt="{string(Heading2)}" /> </a>
...
My problem is with having testvar read as "Section_1#Intro"
(if Bookmark for
this node was "Intro"). No matter how I try to place it -
quotes, with /
without $ etc, is is always read as a literal and the changes
in the other
frame just don't happen as desired.
I have examined the archive and cannot find a solution (but
my lack f skill
may mean I missed an obvious analogue).
I am truely stumped - I know how to escape in a <script>
</script> code
block, but this situation is different.
Your help greatly appreciated.
Andrew
