Hi, List

I want to display anchor element attribute value in browser, but it is in
CDATA.

There is no anchor element in your CDATA. If the CDATA markup were absent, there would be an anchor element, but CDATA means "character data", and its purpose is to say "the thing in here might look like an anchor element, but it isn't really, it's just ordinary text".

So, by including the CDATA markup, you have told the XML parser not to treat the <a>..</a> as an element. Your only remedy now is to extract the text of the CDATA and parse it again. You can't do this in standard XSLT, but you can do it with the help of an extension such as saxon:parse().

If the content of your CDATA section is HTML, and you want it copied directly to the output, then you can sometimes achieve this using disable-output-escaping, but whether this works or not depends on your XSLT processor and the way you are running it.

Please suggest anyone how to display this value?
