XSLT - how to display a html link

Hi,Does anyone of you know how to generate a html link on the web if I use XSLT to transform the XML from view? To make it complicated, instead of icon, I want to display the view column value and this value is a link that will open the attachment of the document. I have tried to use html on my view columns formula (with and without). They all turn out to be plain text.

I downloaded the below excellent codes, spent 2 days modifying it, can’t figure out. Your help is appreciated.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl=“XSLT Namespace”

version="1.0"

xmlns:xalan="http://xml.apache.org/xslt">







<xsl:template match="viewentry[@children]">

	<div>

	<xsl:attribute name="ID">

		<xsl:value-of select="@position" />

	</xsl:attribute>

		<span style="font-weight:bold;color:red;cursor:hand" onclick="toggleSection(this)">+ </span>

		<span style="cursor:hand;color:#000080"  onclick="toggleSection(this.previousSibling)">

			<xsl:attribute name="NextEntrySrc"><Computed Value>?ReadViewEntries&amp;Start=<xsl:value-of select="@position" />.1&amp;Count=<xsl:value-of select="@children" />&amp;Collapse=<xsl:value-of select="@position" />.1</xsl:attribute>				

		

			<xsl:value-of select="entrydata" />



		</span>

	<div style="margin-left:15px;display:none"></div>

	</div>	

</xsl:template>





	<xsl:template match="viewentry">

	<table border="0" width="95%">

		<tr bgcolor="#e6e6fa">

		<xsl:if test="position() mod 2 != 0">

			<xsl:attribute name="bgcolor">beige</xsl:attribute>

		</xsl:if>

			<td width="1%" valign="bottom"><a target="frmDocPreview" style="text-decoration:none">

			<xsl:attribute name="href"><Computed Value><xsl:value-of select="@unid"/><Computed Value>?openelement</xsl:attribute>

			<img border="0" src="/icons/doclink.gif" /></a></td>



			<xsl:apply-templates select="entrydata" />

		</tr>

	</table>

</xsl:template>



<xsl:template match="entrydata[@columnnumber=3]">

<td width="39%">

	<xsl:value-of select="text" />

</td>

</xsl:template>



<xsl:template match="entrydata[@columnnumber=4]">

<td width="20%">

	<xsl:value-of select="text" />

</td>

</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="entrydata[@columnnumber=5]">

<td width="10%">

	<xsl:value-of select="text" />

</td>

</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="entrydata[@columnnumber=6]">

<td width="10%">

	<xsl:value-of select="text" />

</td>

</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="entrydata[@columnnumber=7]">

<td width="20%">

	<xsl:value-of select="number" />

</td>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Well, your code is mostly hidden in your computed text, but generally, if you are making a link, you will need to surround all your text with xsl:text.

For example:

xsl:text/directory/db.nsf/0/</xsl:text><xsl:value-of select=“@unid”/> (etc.)

PS. You don’t seem to be using xalan in the transform, you might want to lose that namespace reference.
