xml node to xsl <img> tag display

need to turn a node into an image

[MoonBunny]

Hello
I have been working with xml and xsl for only 2 months now and have come accross a problem I can not solve.
I need to use an xml node inside a <img> tag in my xsl file.

The xml file/feed comes from a servlet. (I can not get this changed, allready asked.)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Irace msg="WCResultResponse">
<Header>
<ReturnCode>0</ReturnCode>
<ReturnString>Success</ReturnString>
<TimeStamp>2006-08-04 14:16:39.00</TimeStamp>
</Header>
<Result EId="25423754" RaceNum="1" Track="Concours St. Tropez ">
<First FinishTime="59421" Name="Westerly Winds" PLC="4.1" SHW="2.9" Trap="1" WIN="7.4"/>
<Third FinishTime="59866" Name="Handsome" SHW="1.6" Trap="2"/>
<Second FinishTime="59820" Name="Surf Up" PLC="3.7" SHW="2.4" Trap="6"/>
<Exacta Desc="(1,6)" Payout="63.1"/>
</Result>
</Irace>

I want to use the nodes Trap="1" Trap="2" Trap="3" to display a gifs in my xsl doc.

normal? way of displaying an image
...
<td align="center" width="34" height="36">
<img hspace="0" src="D:\work\codere\xsl\1.gif"/>
</td>
...

What I want to do...
...
<td align="center" width="34" height="36">
<img hspace="0" src="D:\work\codere\xsl\<xsl:value-of select="Irace/Result/First/@Trap"/>.gif"/>
</td>
...

I get an "Expected Whitespace" error. I have spent the last few days trying to find example of what I want to do on the web and come up with nothing.

How do I turn,
<xsl:value-of select="Irace/Result/First/@Trap"/> (Trap="1")
into "1.gif"?

Forgive me if this question has allready been asked.

I just started working with XSL in the past week or two and and something just like that stumped me as well...

What worked for me is to use
{Irace/Result/First/@Trap}
instead of
<xsl:value-of select="Irace/Result/First/@Trap"/>
whenever your inside another tag.

So, basically put whatever would have been in your select attribute inside curly braces and you should be good.

Thank you for your reply.

Sorted and working now, I guess I still have lots more to learn.

I've learned all I know from;
[w3schools.com...]
Is there another online tutorial that's clean and simple to read that goes abit more indepth?

Thank you again

I'm using Dreamweaver 8 to do my xslt templates. It's far from perfect, but it's helped a lot with my learning. When you drag and drop a bound element into your stylesheet, it usually gets it right.
