I'm a XSLT novice, who is trying to modify an XSLT Google Search Appliance FrontEnd.

I've managed to work my way through most of the code, but have run into a problem when I try to code the following.

<meta name="jc.wss" content="<xsl:value-of select='$space_normalized_query'/>">

I'm trying to pass the $space_normalized_query into the content attribute, but it keeps failing. I've tried escaping the brackets before and after the "content" quotes (that is "<xsl:value-of select='$space_normalized_query'/>"), but nothing seems to work.

Can anyone set me on the right path?

Thanks!

XSLT uses XML syntax, and XML doesn't allow elements to appear within attributes.

There's a special syntax for this called attribute value templates:

<meta name="jc.wss" content="{$space_normalized_query}"/>

Thanks, Michael, for the help! It worked perfectly!
