How to convert a text in xml to a hyperlink in html using xslt

Question

How to convert a text in xml to a hyperlink in html using xslt.

my Xml code is

<Steps>          
  <Filepath>C:\Test\Capture\050615165617TC001_05_06_1516_57_11.png</Filepath>
</Steps>

to convert it into html my xslt code looks like

<td width='15%'>
  <xsl:element name="a">
	<xsl:attribute name="href">
	  <xsl:value-of select="./Filepath"/>
	</xsl:attribute>
	<xsl:value-of select="./Filepath"/>
  </xsl:element>														
</td>

Now this code writes the entire path of the file in html, but I want to write only "File" in the html with the hyperlink to the location of the file.

My current generated html code is given below

C:\Test\Capture\050615165617TC001_05_06_1516_57_11.png

<td width="15%"><a href="C:\Test\Capture\050615165617TC001_05_06_1516_57_11.png">C:\Test\Capture\050615165617TC001_05_06_1516_57_11.png</a></td>

What I want is

<td width="15%"><a href="C:\Test\Capture\050615165617TC001_05_06_1516_57_11.png">File</a></td>

Can anyone help me what change I need to do in xslt.

Answer 1

You are telling it to have the value:

  <xsl:element name="a">
    <xsl:attribute name="href">
      <xsl:value-of select="./Filepath"/>
    </xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:value-of select="./Filepath"/> <!--This is the link text -->
  </xsl:element>                                                        

So change it to:

  <xsl:element name="a">
    <xsl:attribute name="href">
      <xsl:value-of select="./Filepath"/>
    </xsl:attribute>
    File
  </xsl:element>
