XSL and HTML attributes

[Patrick Long]

I am trying to write the following tranformation:

<p><img src="<xsl:value-of select="Filename"/>.gif"></p>

When I load the xsl into IE5.5 to check if it is well formed the following
error occurs:
The character '<' cannot be used in an attribute value. Line 11, Position 17

<p><img src="<xsl:value-of select="Filename"/>.gif"></p>
----------------^

Any ideas on how to solve this gratefully received.

Thanks

Either of these will work:

Try this: <p><img src="{Filename}.gif"/></p>

Or this:

<p><img><xsl:attribute name="src"><xsl:value-of
select="Filename"/>.gif"</xsl:attribute></img></p>

I always do as follows:

<xsl:element name="IMG">
<xsl:attribute name="src"><xsl:value-of select="Filename"/>.gif
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>
