need help putting xsl:value-of in select option

eruditionist · September 25th, 2008, 08:06 AM

I am creating a drop down in my XSL and I need to use the link as the value so I can pass that to my javascript using an onClick. My question is how do I get the xsl:value-of in the value of the select option for example

<select>

   <xsl:for-each select="//docs">
    <option value="<xsl:value-of select="docvalue"/>">
               <xsl:value-of select="title"/>
       </option>
   </xsl:for-each>
</select>

Is there any way or the best way to do this? currently what I have is not working.

Use an attribute value template

Code:

<option value="{docvalue}">
  <xsl:value-of select="title"/>
</option>

or create an attribute

Code:

<option>
  <xsl:attribute name="value">
    <xsl:value-of select="docvalue"/>
  </xsl:attribute>
  <xsl:value-of select="title"/>
</option>
