Re: [xsl] special chars appearing in href - %09 %0A etc

[Jitu <jibhatia at andiamo dot com>]

I think i will be forced to put all in one line and cannot use the 
second approach of xsl:text, as my name value pairs actually are dynamic.
I simplified them for the sake of asking this question.

Here is what my href xsl actually looks like :

<a>
<xsl:attribute name="href">
<xsl:value-of select="$url"/>?a=b&amp;c=d
                                   <xsl:if test='$sOrder="descending"' >
                                       &amp;SORDER=ascending
                                   </xsl:if>
                               </xsl:if>
                                   <xsl:if test='$sOrder="ascending"' >
                                       &amp;SORDER=descending
                                  </xsl:if> <xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:attribute>
</a>

which is expected to be output as :
<a href="myweb.com?a=b&c=d&SORDER=ascending">Some Text</a>
OR
<a href="myweb.com?a=b&c=d&SORDER=descending">Some Text</a>


If my understanding correct that i will have to put all in one line. As 
follows :

<a><xsl:attribute name="href"><xsl:value-of 
select="$url"/>?a=b&amp;c=d<xsl:if test='$sOrder="descending"' 
>&amp;SORDER=ascending</xsl:if></xsl:if><xsl:if 
test='$sOrder="ascending"' 
>&amp;SORDER=descending</xsl:if></xsl:attribute> </a>

Is there another way ?

Thanks
