    Using XSLT In Image Tag?

    I haven't been able to get my head round why this won't work?

    <img src='<xsl:value-of select="$post/@BlogThumbnail"/>' alt='<xsl:value-of select="$post/@nodeName"/>' />

    I just get this error?

    System.Xml.XmlException: '<', hexadecimal value 0x3C, is an invalid attribute character. Line 108, position 12.

    Can you please point me in the right direction :)

    Ron's right, you want to use the {} syntax to expand the item in place. It is, effectively, a value-of select statement that you can use when you're already inside the value of a tag. You'll see this syntax all the time with the niceUrl(@id) inside an href tag.

    Alternatively, you can use the more verbose but possibly clearer xsl:attribute syntax. It would look like this:

    <img>
        <xsl:attribute name="src"><xsl:value-of select="$post/@BlogThumbnail"/></xsl:attribute>
        <xsl:attribute name="alt"><xsl:value-of select="$post/@nodeName"/></xsl:attribute>
    </img>



    cheers,
