new to xml...urls problem

[otter]

I'm just sitting at home trying to teach myself xml so i'd appreciate some help

I have this xml from a search engine

<result href="http://blahblah.htm">
<title>blah</title>
<score>69%</score>
<size>38.5K</size>
<summary>yadda yadda yadda</summary>
</result>

My problem is in getting the url out of the result tag........any suggestions

Thanks in advance

Cut and paste? What exactly are you up to?

Thanks

im trying to build a nice interface for a search engine, one with no accessibility issues.

its the xsl i am interested in so an href tag can be built with the correct url in it for each search hit.

<xsl:template match="result@href">
  <a>
    <xsl:attribute name="href">
      <xsl:value-of select="@href"/>
    </xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:apply-template select="title"/>
  </a>
</xsl:template>

thanks charlie

it was the @ character that I was missing, that enables us to look at the href part of the tag i presume?

It's Charles. And the amphora indicates an attribute.
