    If I understand you correctly, you can try this in your xslt:

    [code]






    [/code]

    This should give you a link to your url.

    Can you post your existing code so that I have a better idea of what you are trying to achieve?

    Hi David,

    This is full code. I am trying display news items. New Items have external (textstring document type) and internal links (content picker).

    external url works. But when i try to choose internal links it does not work.

    waiting for your help on the same.

    It would be good to double-check the value of the content picker.

    Can you add this code (temporarily) to see what output you get and let us know?

    [code]

    [/code]

    For the copy-of output, you'll want to look at the html source in your browser since the browser won't know how to display the raw xml properly.

    cheers,
    doug.

    Hi David and Doug.

    Thanks for your help on the same.

    I figured out the problem. I was successfully debugged and completed the task.

    Hope this helps for everyone else who is having similar problem.

    Solution:

    Step 1. Create a Parameter in the marco.

    [code]
    linkinternal of type number.
    [/code]

    Step 2. XSLT Code for Get the Items with some minor Change.


    [code]

    <>
    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"
    exclude-result-prefixes="msxml umbraco.library">































    [/code]

    Step 3: Call Macro from the Template

    [code]
    MACRO macroAlias="Newslist" linkinternal="linkurlct_picker">
    [/code]
