I tried to add the URL for our location into an XSLT document and the URL threw me an error in the XSLT due to an "=" in the URL of our location. It seems to be conflicting with XSLT.
Just and FYI.
I am trying to make a footer that when the address is clicked on the Google maps comes up. I am going to use the macro for 2 different templates not within the same tree. But they will use the same macro. Using the "Develop once deploy once" method.
I actually ended up using the Google's Short URL but just FYI this is what I was trying to do. Simple but was fighting with the XSLT validation. It is the URL that Google generates when you choose the link code for your address. I figured it was the "=" signs because that is what was showing up in my XSLT error when I tried to save the XSLT.
However I think the reason why the error occurs in the first example is because there is an unescaped & sign in it, which of course should be & Not sure about the % sign...could maybe also cause trouble...
Anyhow you found a good solution - You should however probably correct this line? <a href="tel:1-303-370-6000">303.370.6000a> to <a href="tel:1-303-370-6000">303.370.6000</a> - Guess it's a typo :-)
Google maps location URL in XSLT

Hi Carlos
Could you perhaps post the code that you're having trouble with?

Jan,
I actually ended up using the Google's Short URL but just FYI this is what I was trying to do. Simple but was fighting with the XSLT validation.
It is the URL that Google generates when you choose the link code for your address.
I figured it was the "=" signs because that is what was showing up in my XSLT error when I tried to save the XSLT.
This is the XSLT:
<div id="mobileHoursLocation">
<span>
<a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Denver+Museum+Of+Nature+%26+Science:+Museum+Shop,+2001+Colorado+Boulevard,+Denver,+CO+80205&aq=0&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=45.957536,79.013672&ie=UTF8&hq=Denver+Museum+Of+Nature+%26+Science:+Museum+Shop,&hnear=2001+Colorado+Blvd,+Denver,+Colorado+80205&ll=39.749351,-104.94426&spn=0.010542,0.01929&t=h&z=16">2001 Colorado Blvd <br />
Denver, CO 80205a><br />
<a href="tel:1-303-370-6000">303.370.6000a>
span>
<span class="mobileHours">
Open daily<br />
9am - 5pm<br />
Closed Christmas
span>
div>
This is what I ended up doing instead with the Google's short URL generator in the Google Maps Labs.
<div id="mobileHoursLocation">
<span>
<a href="http://goo.gl/maps/JvnM">2001 Colorado Blvd <br />
Denver, CO 80205a><br />
<a href="tel:1-303-370-6000">303.370.6000a>
span>
<span class="mobileHours">
Open daily<br />
9am - 5pm<br />
Closed Christmas
span>
div>
Hi Carlos
Glad you got it solved.
However I think the reason why the error occurs in the first example is because there is an unescaped & sign in it, which of course should be & Not sure about the % sign...could maybe also cause trouble...
Anyhow you found a good solution - You should however probably correct this line? <a href="tel:1-303-370-6000">303.370.6000a> to <a href="tel:1-303-370-6000">303.370.6000</a> - Guess it's a typo :-)

Ah yes the unescaped characters. I completely forgot or spaced that.
Ah well. Nice catch too on the phone number.
Thanks.
