XSLT & XPath tag in tag?

[Sebastian Green]

I want to create a simple link in my xsl-stylesheet

 <a href="/whatever">whatever</a> 

But Im not able to add a parameter with XPath, like this:

<a href="/whatever?para=<xsl:value-of select="./@id" />">whatever</a> 

What should I do, xsl must support dynamic link output?

My guess is that you're getting complaints about illegal XML, am I right?

You see, the following is not valid XML:

<a href="/whatever?para=<xsl:value-of select="./@id" />">whatever</a>

...since the "<"'s don't match with ">"'s.

To try snippet below:

<xsl:element name="a">
<xsl:attribute name="href">

/whatever?para=<xsl:value-of select="./@id" /></xsl:attribute>

</xsl:element>

Good luck.

Try..
Either
<xsl:variable name="Para1" select="./@id"/>
<a href="/whatever?para={$Para1} />">whatever</a>

Or

<a href="/whatever?para={<xsl:value-of select="./@id" />}">whatever</a>
Not sure about the second option, but the first one shd work.
