Hello All,
I have an XSL file that generates HTML. The HTML file that is being generated has HREFs in it. How can I get the HREFS to equal the value of the XML attribute that it is transforming. For Example:
<body>
<xsl:for-each select="Locations/Location">
<a href="/servlet/GetMaps"><xsl:value-of select="Campus"/></a><br/>
</xsl:for-each>
</body>
Above, I would like "/servlet/GetMaps" really to be the value of "xsl:value-of select="Campus"/>".
This is driving me to drink!!!

Not to discourage you from drinking , but you can use
<a href="{./servlet/GetMaps}">

When you want to specify the attribute in the output HTML/XHTML, use {XPath}. This is the alternative way to get the value of XML note value using <xsl:value-of select="XPath"/>

The curly brackets are your friend. When you use them inside an attribute value, they will expand to the value of the XPath expression.
You didn't provide much context for your application; but maybe you want something like this:
<a href="{/servlet/GetMaps/@Campus}">fubar</a>
Results may vary.
