I'm going to post my code and then tell you what I want to do:
In the XML file (at the top) I've defined that LINK should have an attribute url. Now using XSL I want to be able to take whatever is in the variable url if it is defined like this <LINK url="http://www.somesite.com/somefile.extention"/> and use it to define a link in teh XSL as shown above. How would I do this?
I want to read the variable url that is nested in LINK using XSL(T). I don't want to have to try doing this through javascript or any other language if possible. I don't want to do the <LINK>URL</LINK> as would be easier. I would rather be able to define a variable inside the tag.
Code:
//EYEFILES.XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="eyefiles.xsl"?>
<!DOCTYPE EYEAPPS [
<!ELEMENT LINK (#PCDATA)>
<!ATTLIST LINK url CDATA #REQUIRED>
]>
<EYEAPPS>
<APPS>
<NAME>HTMLEdit</NAME>
