template match="link' is what is linking (and link is the holder of the URI) but I want the link to be the title. Make sense? Any help would be appreciated.

<A style="font-size:.8em;">
<xsl:attribute name="HREF">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</A>
Should be:
<xsl:element name="a">
<xsl:attribute name="HREF">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:element>
There may be some other issues, but I can't make enough time to give it a going-over yet.
Any help would be appreciated. I searched W3 schools, the web, WMforum, and found nothing useful. I am sure the answer is simple and obvious, but darn if I can find it.
Thanks in advance,
Marshall
Do you have an example of the XML file you're trying to transform and what the desired result should be?

With the XSL I provided earlier, the above displays:
TITLE
DESCRIPTION
[u]LINK[/u] - which is the actual link.
What I would like is similar to how this would display if it were RSS:
[u]TITLE[/u] - This text to be the link, the URI being located in the <link></link> tags of the XML, the URI not displayed
DESCRIPTION.
Make sense?
Marshall
Now, I'll say what I always say:
If you want to play in the XSLT pool, you NEED a tool like <oXygen/>, Stylus Studio or XMLSpy.
I used <oXygen/> to whip this up in about 10 minutes.
Your XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="news.xsl"?>

The XSLT:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="html" omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/><xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="/news/item">
<xsl:call-template name="news_item"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template><xsl:template name="news_item">
<div class="news_item_div">
<div class="news_item_div_header">
<xsl:element name="a">
<xsl:attribute name="href"><xsl:value-of select="link"/></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select="title"/>
</xsl:element>
</div>
<div class="news_item_div_description">
<xsl:value-of select="description"/>
</div>
</div>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Works great. Much thanks. Will take serious look at the software you suggested.

Will take serious look at the software you suggested.
What software suggested?
;)
I sent you a sticky
Marshall
The recommendation has been made quite often so I think cmarshall was trying to make it more obvious this time ... obviously ;)
Just having some fun tonight, that's all!
;)
