I have a scenario where in I need to display certain element with Tool tips in my HTML.

I have an input xml the contents of the tool tips are available in some of the fields of the xml .and I have an xsl file

I thought of using the title attribute. is this a good way or is there any other way.

If we can use the title attribute I am not sure how we can get the value dynamically in xsl.

For example

<td title=test><b>Sample</b></td>
I need this test value from a filed in xml .

Any help is highly appreciated

Your example is not-well-formed xml!

Are you talking xhtml, or plain html?

You use xslt to transform from what to what? I am not clear!

I have an xml and have an xslt file. I need to generate an html.


So I tranform from the xml file to html file.

I have a filed called description in my xml file. I need that as a tool tip in my html. How to achieve this?

Any help is highly appreciated.

Yes, you're right, the "title" attribute is the one to use for an HTML tool-tip. But I don't understand the rest of the question. What's a "field" in an XML document? And why do you say "dynamically"? Perhaps an example of your XML and what you have so far in your XSLT would help.

Q. How to ask an XSLT question?
A:
The easiest way to get answer real quick is post the original xml source, then post what you want to get the xml/html result. Of course, make it simple, and illustrate the point you want to solve only. Then your own approach which does not work as you desired. Many brain exercisers will solve your problem quickly. The answer will help others too.
