Hi everybody, im trying to assing a style sheet whose name i have in a xml element like this:

<style>"http://projecto/css/edit5.css"</style>
 and i get this error on the xsl editor "NOT WELL FORMED :&EXPECTED"

   when i try to pass it to a html <link> tag like this:


 <xsl:template match="style">

 <link rel = "stylesheet" type="text/css"
        href= "<xsl:value-of select="."/>"
 < q/link>

  </xsl:template>


could anyone help me on this?:)

Maybe your doublequotes confuse the parser?! Not sure whether you can substitute with single quotes!

Try have another look at your tags. You have a doublequote outside one tag and where does the < q/link> belong? Not that I'm an expert, but it looks odd!

tnx birger but that was my mistake but even if i correct it the problem persists

<xsl:template match="style">

 <link rel = "stylesheet" type="text/css" href= "<xsl:value-of select="."/>" >
</link>
</xsl:template>

oh , and the single quotes dont work neither

ok now i found the problem , indeed the double quotes on the xml were part of the problem ( birgie sorry) so i removed them and changed the xml to this, which works fine:


 <xsl:template match="style">

 <link rel = "stylesheet" type="text/css" href= "{.}" >
 </link>

 </xsl:template>

Great - I'll use it myself!

FYI -- using "{.}" indeed works; this is called an "attribute value template" and will work fine as long as you are using a "literal result element" to output the parent element (which is what you are doing with the "link" element) rather than using xsl:copy or xsl:element for that purpose, and as long as the value of the attribute does not require complex logic.

The following solution uses xsl:attribute which allows more flexibility if you need it:

<xsl:template match="style">

 <link rel = "stylesheet" type="text/css">
  <xsl:attribute name="href">
    <xsl:value-of select="."/>
  </xsl:attribute>
 </link>

 </xsl:template>
