Re: XSL:VALUE-OF

[Christoffer Dam Bruun]

Hi mahati,

I think you should create a resulttree fragment containing the <a> tag 
instead of trying to print it as text.
I would suggest doing something like :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; 
version="1.0"
                     xmlns:exsl="http://exslt.org/common";>
<xsl:call-template name=columnHeader">
<xsl:with-param name="value">
<a>
 <xsl:attribute name="href">javascript:void(0);</xsl:attribute>
 <xsl:attribute name="id">frameloader</xsl:attribute>
 ...
</a>
</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>

<xsl:template name="columnHeader">
<xsl:param name="value"/>
  ...
  <!-- now print the fragment -->
  <xsl:apply-templates select="exsl:node-set($value)" mode="identity"/>
  ...
</xsl:template>

<!-- an indentity transform scoped by a specific mode - so that it is 
not accidentally run-->
<xsl:template match="@*|node()" mode="identity">
<xsl:copy>
 <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"  mode="identity"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

Best regards,

I have a template say, columnHeader which i am calling as below in a xsl:

<xsl:call-template name="columnHeader">
<xsl:with-param name="value">&lt;a id="frameLoader"
href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="javascript:<xsl:value-of
select="$gridName"/>.expandAllTreeRows(this);"&gt;+&lt;/a&gt;</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>

Inside the template apart from other stuff, i print the value using
xsl:value as below:

<xsl:value-of select="$value"/>

This code was working fine before migrating to Xalan 2.7.1. But, once i
moved to Xalan 2.7.1, text in the value variable is getting printed as
normal text, it's not being treated as html and hence not being rendered as
a href in the browser. Instead i get something like  javascript:void(0); + 
as plaint text.

Please suggest.
