All,
I've got a problem converting & to &.
The xml I'm parsing contains strings which are urls containing &
The urls will not work correctly unless the & is in the syntax of
&. I realise that <xsl:output method="text"/> will convert the & to
&.
However the output I require is in html format.
For example the string in the xml is in the form of:
http://linuxdev.socialchange.net.au/cgi-bin/usl/usl.pl?object=ds&ds.method=getimage
The url is given to a parameter in the xsl to hold it. ie.
<xsl:variable name="param.url">
<xsl:value-of select="param[@name='url']/@value"/>
</xsl:variable>
................
This url parameter is then used in a form containing an applet which
uses this url.
<param>
<xsl:attribute
name="NAME"><xsl:text>image</xsl:text></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="VALUE"><xsl:value-of
select="$param.url"/></xsl:attribute>
</param>
At this point the url still contains & when output as html.....I
want it to be in & format. If I change the xsl:output to text, then I
have problems creating the forms and attributes.
Does anyone know of a solution?
Cheers,
Trem
