how can I define a hyper link in xslt?

[li...@bi.no]

We use <a href="http://somedomain.com">somedomain</a> to define a hyper link in
HTML. In the xml file, I have an element called "url" which is used to store the
links. How can I make a style sheet to transfer the data into clickable hyper
link in html?

In the style sheet, I tried <a href=xsl:value-of select="url"/></a> , failed
with an exception. Any ideas are appreciated.

Close be no cigar ;)

  <a href="{url}"><xsl:value-of select="url"/></a>

Just for future reference, in case you've not found it yet,
the XSLT spec is at: <URL:http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt>.

Hope that helps,

 use  xsl:element :

<xsl:element name="a">
   <xsl:attribute name="href">
      <xsl:value-of select="url"/>
   </xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>

 I think you can also achieve this with xsl:variable

there is a special construction for value-of inside an element
  just use { and }

as in:

<A class="marknav" href="{@url}" target="MAIN"><xsl:value-of 
select="@text"/></A>

for <link url="www.boo.com" text="Flying Dutchman">
