insert a background image in a a-tag

I have a problem whit an background images that dosen't come out right. Im trying to put a Style into a <a> in my Xslt file. but something goes wrong whit the path to the background images.

In the Macro I have set the Parameters like this:

I have an xslt file containing this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [ <!ENTITY nbsp "&#x00A0;"> ]>
<xsl:stylesheet
  version="1.0"
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
  xmlns:msxml="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
  xmlns:umbraco.library="urn:umbraco.library" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltCommon="urn:Exslt.ExsltCommon" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes="urn:Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltMath="urn:Exslt.ExsltMath" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltRegularExpressions="urn:Exslt.ExsltRegularExpressions" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltStrings="urn:Exslt.ExsltStrings" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltSets="urn:Exslt.ExsltSets"
  exclude-result-prefixes="msxml umbraco.library Exslt.ExsltCommon Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes Exslt.ExsltMath Exslt.ExsltRegularExpressions Exslt.ExsltStrings Exslt.ExsltSets ">


<xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
  <xsl:variable name="temp" select="string(/macro/urlNumber)"/>
  <xsl:variable name="class" select="string(/macro/className)"/>
  <xsl:variable name="text" select="string(/macro/tagText)"/>
  <xsl:variable name="bgImg" select="string(/macro/bgImage)"/>
<xsl:param name="currentPage"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:choose>
  <xsl:when test="$class != '' and $text != '' and $temp != ''">
    <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl($temp)}" class="{$class}" style="background:url({$bgImg}) no-repeat;">
      <xsl:value-of select="$text" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>      
    </a>
  </xsl:when>
  <xsl:when test="$temp != ''">
    <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:NiceUrl($temp)"/>
  </xsl:when>
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

and the output on the page is this:

<a style="background:url(/media/8/iconData2.png72372409png) no-repeat;" class="readmore" href="/tekst-side/underside.aspx">se her</a>

What am I doing wrong?

Hi Kate,

The "mediaCurrent" parameter gives you an XML chunk, so you need to specifically select the umbracoFile element inside it:
```
<xsl:variable name="temp" select="/macro/urlNumber"/>
<xsl:variable name="class" select="/macro/className"/>
<xsl:variable name="text" select="/macro/tagText"/>
<xsl:variable name="bgImg" select="/macro/bgImage/*/umbracoFile"/>
```
(And you don't need the string() thing, though it doesn't hurt anyone :-)

You're welcome - and might I add, a perfect example of how to ask a question :-)
