Simplifying the Creation of Links when Transforming XML with XSLT
When transforming XML to HTML you often have to create links on your page. Use this syntax to simply this task.
<xml>
<contact name="Kris" url="kris@somewhere.com"/>
</xml>
Long way:
<a><attribute name="href"><xsl:value-of
select="@url"/></attribute><xsl:value-of select="@name"/></a>
Short way:
<a href="{@url}"><xsl:value-of select="@name"></a>
If you have a hot tip and we publish it, we'll pay you. However, due to accounting overhead we no longer pay $10 for a single tip submission. You must accumulate 10 acceptable tips to receive payment. Be sure to include a clear explanation of what the technique does and why it's useful. If it includes code, limit it to 20 lines if possible. Submit your tip here.
