Ampersand problem WAS parsing problem with: ..344&CONTEXT=34..

I have the same problem. I have an xsl template that looks like this:

<a>
<xsl:attribute name="href">page.jsp?var1=3&var2=<xsl:value-of
select="./meta/@var2"/></xsl:attribute>click here</a>

The problem is that if I don't escape the ampersand Xalan chokes, and if
I do I get the escaped &amp; in the output, which I don't want.

OK never mind, the &amp; in the output got converted by netscape, so I
don't have a problem.
