Hello!

I can’t properly get result into my Nokia emulator version 3.0 browser from my xsl stylesheet by using tag name: <xsl:attribute name=“href”>. Data from TAMINO are correct display in pretty table but I can’t make href attribute in my XSL file in order to ASP page displayed in NOKIA will good transform.

Please help me!

Hi

How and where are you using the xsl:attribute tag ? You should have it immediately after the
tag you are trying to add the attribute to.

e.g.


<xsl:attribute name=“href”> … etc.

Muiris.

Hello!

Thanks Muiris for reply. Before you answered I got a idea. I used

tag instead of tag, so that is why it was not worked.

NOW, it worked! :slight_smile:

To find out what you’re doing wrong, I’ll need to see your code, and to know a little bit more about the input and desired output of your transformation.

Hello!

My previous XSL was:
--------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" ?>

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl=“XSLT Namespace” version=“1.0”>
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration=“yes”/>

<xsl:template match=“/”>









<xsl:for-each select=“//mydatabase”>





</xsl:for-each>
Nr Name Address
<xsl:value-of select=“nr”/> <xsl:value-of select=“name”/>


<xsl:attribute name=“href”>find.asp?nr=<xsl:value-of select=“nr” />&address=<xsl:value-of select=“address” />
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select=“address” />




</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
--------------------------------


My corrected XSL is:

--------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" ?>

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl=“XSLT Namespace” version=“1.0”>
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration=“yes”/>

<xsl:template match=“/”>









<xsl:for-each select=“//mydatabase”>





</xsl:for-each>
Nr Name Address
<xsl:value-of select=“nr”/> <xsl:value-of select=“name”/>

<xsl:attribute name=“href”>find.asp?nr=<xsl:value-of select=“nr” />&address=<xsl:value-of select=“address” />
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select=“address” />




</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
--------------------------------

The one difference is tag instead of tag

Thanks, it’s nice when a problem turns out to be that easy.

I’m surprised your XSLT processor a(or rather, your XML parser) allows you to write


<xsl:attribute name=“href”>find.asp?nr=<xsl:value-of select=“nr” />&address=<xsl:value-of select=“address” />
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select=“address” />


- the “&” should be escaped as “& a m p ;” (perhaps it was, but has been corrupted by the forum software?)

I personally tend to write this kind of thing using attribute value templates:



It’s just a bit shorter and easier to read (and therefore easier to spot mistakes).

Yes, it appears that when you type “& a m p ;” into a forum message (without the spaces), it comes out as “&”.

Maybe … but it doesn’t work for me. I’ve changed my XSL like this (There are three letters: amp after character ampersand):


<xsl:attribute name=“href”>find.asp?nr={<xsl:value-of select=“nr” />}&address=<xsl:value-of select=“address” />
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select=“address” />


It displayed error in NOKIA TOOLKIT 3.

You are right! :slight_smile:
