Ignore previous one: How: Populate table of URLs from an XML using XSLT

This is a corrected posting. Please ignore my previous posting.

I just started XML. I searched for help for this problem but could not find
one specific to this.

This is the problem.

I have a an XML file with a list of URLs.
I could take that data and paint a simple HTML table using XSLT.
The problem occurs when I want the each URL to be present inside a quote
as a value for the HREF attribute to form an HTML anchor.

In other words how do I put URL part from XML using XSLT in the construct
below:

<A HREF="URL"> hello </A>

I know, the syntax isn't correct if I replace the URL part with <xsl: value-of
select="url">.

Then how do I "put" a value there?

Hope some one knows a way out.

Thanks,
Aaron

There are two solutions:

1. <a><xsl:attribute name="href"><xsl:value-of
select="url"/></xsl:attribute>Link title</a>

2. <a href="{url}">Link title</a>

I tried your solution. It just simply works.
Thanks you so much Russell.

I might not be understanding the problem correctly but I'd do something like
the following
<xsl:template match="a"><a><xsl:attribute name="href"><xsl:value-of select="@href"/></xsl:attribute><xsl:value-of
select="."/></a></xsl:template>
or you could, if you want to include a lot of html in your output, and of
course depending on parser used, declare your html as a namespace. I generally
don't like that however cause I think it decreases reusability of stylesheets
between media.
