HTTP links in xml file being displayed in XSLT

R

requeth

I have the following XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="table_classname.xsl"?>
<root>
<classinfo>
<classname>Rhetoric 10</classname>
<classlink>http://webcast.berkeley.edu/course_details.php?
seriesid=1906978535</classlink>
<classrating>"A"</classrating>
<university>"UC Berkeley"</university>
</classinfo>
<classinfo>
<classname>"Physics 10"</classname>
<classlink>http://webcast.berkeley.edu/course_details.php?
seriesid=1906978535</classlink>
<classrating>"A+"</classrating>
<university>"UC Berkeley+"</university>
</classinfo>
</root>

And the following XSLT file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<table border="1">
<tr bgcolor="#9acd32">
<th align="left">Class</th>
<th align="left">University</th>
<th align="left">Rating</th>
</tr>
<xsl:for-each select="root/classinfo">
<xsl:sort select="classname"/>
<tr>
<td>
<a><a href="<xsl:value-of select="classlink"/>"><xsl:value-of
select="classname"/></a>
</td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="university"/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="classrating"/></td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

I'm trying to get the href link section to pull the classlink
attribute out and the classname attribute out and render it as an HTTP
link. This is throwing an error stating I cant have < in an attribute.
Anyone know how I can get the link to render properly?

XSLT itself uses XML syntax. So you can't just put tags wherever you
like, and hope that it works.

Use xsl:attribute or attribute value templates. See the XSLT spec or a
good tutorial for the use of these.

<a><a href="<xsl:value-of select="classlink"/>"><xsl:value-of
select="classname"/></a>

Use an attribute value template
<a href="{classlink}">
<xsl:value-of select="classname"/>
</a>
