[xsl] xsl:attribute introducing a lot of whitespace

Hello,

I am using xsl:attribute to generate href links .Here is my code. The xml is a 
simple juicers and then multiple juicer with various attributes. I need to 
create bookmark type links within the same page.

      <xsl:variable name="namevar" select="name"/>
         <td>
          <a>
           <xsl:attribute name="href">
            #<xsl:value-of select="translate($namevar,' ','_')"/>_desc
           </xsl:attribute> 
           <xsl:attribute name="name">
            <xsl:value-of select="translate($namevar,' ','_')"/>_cost
           </xsl:attribute>
     <xsl:value-of select = "name"/>           
          </a>
        </td>

Here is where the above link would point to

          <a>
           <xsl:attribute name="href">
            #<xsl:value-of select="translate($namevar,' ','_')"/>_cost          
 
           </xsl:attribute> 
           <xsl:attribute name="name">
            <xsl:value-of select="translate($namevar,' ','_')"/>_desc
           </xsl:attribute>
           <xsl:value-of select = "name"/>
          </a>


I see that the generated html from the browser produces a lot of whitespace. 
This is what I see in the generated source and because of the whitespace the 
links don't work. 

<td><a href="
            #OJ_Home_Juicer_desc
           " name="OJ_Home_Juicer_cost
           ">OJ Home Juicer</a></td>
<td>

When I strip the white space and bring it in one line in the html and then open 
and click the links it works fine.

How can I make this work?

Thanks in advance
VJ
