You want an attribute value template:
> <a name="Introduction" href="javascript:location='#Introduction';
> parent.main_body.location={$testvar};
> parent.right_side.location='section_1_tools.xml'">
> <img src="Bullets/SmallBlueBullet.gif" align="absmiddle"
> border ="0" alt="{string(Heading2)}" /> </a>
Odd thing is, you're already using one successfully in the img/@alt
attribute!
