XML add <a> hyperlink

Hi,

I have a xml blob that's checked against a schema in sql 2005. My website uses xsl to transform and display the blob. How do I add a hyperlink to the xml (in any node) without the sql 2005 schema complaining a node was found in the wrong place? Or the xsl thinking that the hyperlink is a valid xml node?

thank you

• I'm guessing you aren't encoding the < and > characters correctly. You need to use &lt; and &gt;

  Paulj : awesome, thanks.

• For more advanced html building, you may need to use the xsl:element tag:

    <xsl:element name="a">
      <xsl:attribute name="href">http://www.stackoverflow.com</xsl:attribute>
      Click here
    </xsl:element>
  

  renders

  <a href="http://www.stackoverflow.com">Click here</a>
  

  The nice thing about this is that the values for any of the "name" attributes or inner text can be computed xsl values.
