Hi,

Here are two ways in which you can do this:

1) Use "xsl:element"

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">

    <xsl:output indent="yes"/>

    <xsl:template match="back">

        <xsl:for-each select="link">

            <xsl:element name="a">

                <xsl:attribute name="href">

                    <xsl:value-of select="text()"/>

                </xsl:attribute>

                <xsl:element name="img">

                    <xsl:attribute name="src">

                        <xsl:value-of select="@type"/>

                    </xsl:attribute>

                </xsl:element>

            </xsl:element>

        </xsl:for-each>

    </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

2)Use XPath expressions directly in attribute values.

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">

    <xsl:output indent="yes"/>

    <xsl:template match="back">

        <xsl:for-each select="link">

            <a href="{text()}">

                <img src="{@type}"/>

            </a>

        </xsl:for-each>

    </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

As you can see the transformer will evaluate what is inside curly brackets in attribute values as XPath expressions.
Here is a good XSLT tutorial: http://www.zvon.org/xxl/XSLTutorial/Boo ... tents.html

Hope this helps,
