Whoah, that's perfect. I was aware of the <xsl:attribute> tag, but didn't know about an XSP equivalent. Thanks Torsten!

You probably want to do:
<a>
<xsp:attribute name="href"><esql:get-string column="name"/></xsp:attribute>
</a>

Subject: ESQL Return Values & Attributes
I've been building a site using Cocoon, and the ESQL tag library has blown me away, really cool stuff. For most of my code I do
this:
<filelist>
<esql:execute-query>
<esql:query>select id,name,shortname,homepage from projects order by name</esql:query>
<esql:results>
<esql:row-results>
<filecategory>
<catshort><esql:get-string column="shortname"/></catshort>
<catlink><esql:get-string column="homepage"/></catlink>
<catname><esql:get-string column="name"/></catname> Building the site based on data encapsulated by XML tags. But many times, I'll want:
<a href=""" <esql:return value here/>">
Now obviously that won't work. But I do want to be able to access the SQL data from an attribute of a tag; otherwise my XSL sheets grow and grow as I break a complex single tag into multiple tags to handle little pieces of data everywhere. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
