Jesse,
At 01:57 PM 6/12/2002, you wrote:
I want to use the course titles as the value parameters of the HTML
option tag, but the following doesn't work:
<option value="$courseTitle">
<xsl:value-of select="$courseNo" />
</option>
For this you want to use a handy construction known as "attribute value
templates".
Try <option value="{$courseTitle}">...
The brackets in a literal result attribute (also allowed in a few other
places) say to the processor "evaluate this and stick the result in".
Otherwise '$courseTitle' is taken to be a string like any other (as you no
doubt discovered).
Enjoy,
Wendell
