how to insert a hyperlink in XSLT

[maneshn]

I have the following piece of code used to map data from one AJAX form to another. However the output of the mapping has extra namespaces in it. how would I correct the XSL to have the correct output?

i expect to receive:

<a href="http://server:9090/doc.pdf">copy of doc</a>

instead I receive:

<a xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLschema" xmlns:gi="http://www.myplace.com/gi/AJAXForms/List1.gi" href="http://server:9090/doc.pdf">copy of doc</a>

this is the piece of code I use:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLschema" version="2.0">
    <xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes" />
 
    <xsl:template match="gi:FormModel" xmlns:gi="http://www.myplace.com/gi/AJAXForms/List1.gi">
        <xsl:element name="List-field2">
            <xsl:for-each select="List-field1/List1-matrix">
                <xsl:variable name="position" select="position()" />
                <xsl:element name="ShortList2-matrix">
                    <xsl:element name="doc-map">
                        <link href="{//*[local-name()=concat('doc',$position,'-upload')]}">Copy of doc</link>
                    </xsl:element>
                </xsl:element>
            </xsl:for-each>
        </xsl:element>
    </xsl:template>
 
</xsl:stylesheet>

use the exclude-result-prefixes attribute in <xsl:stylesheet>

Thanks a million. It has brought me one step closer to my goal.

Now that I have the output as <a href='xxx.xx'</a> how would I code the XSL to change the output so that I get &lt;a href='xxx.xxx'&lt;/a&gt;

Also you ask me to use code tags when posting code - I have no idea how to do this. I am new to this and would appreciate your guidance.

Thanks

return it as <xsl:text>. you can’t do that with <xsl:element>.

Also you ask me to use code tags when posting code - I have no idea how to do this. I am new to this and would appreciate your guidance.

either type [code] before and [/code] after your code or use the # button (rightmost of the buttons) in the editor (advanced mode)
