    how to use a dictionary item inside an html attribute

    Having an interesting challenge/problem.  Because of the three sets of quotes, I seem to be unable to write a dictionary item inside an HTML tag attribute:

    <input id="loc" name="loc" type="text" value="<xsl:value-of select='umbraco.library:GetDictionaryItem("Locate Button")' />" />

    I've got the HTML <input value="">, the <xsl:value-of select="", and then the GetDictionaryItem param ("Locate Button").  I am getting an error from my XSLT trying to do this.  Do I need to escape one of these sets?  If so, which ones, and how?? I thought of creating a Macro which takes the Dictionary Item as a param; this would eliminate one set; but the problem there is that I am Already inside a Macro here.

    How to do accomplish this? Seems like someone would have run into the same problem before.  For example, with an <img src=""> or something like that.

    Thanks in advance,

    Garrett

    If you're already in xslt try

    <input id="loc" name="loc" type="text" >
       <xsl:attribute name="value">
            <xsl:value-of select='umbraco.library:GetDictionaryItem("Locate Button")' />
        </xsl:attribute>
    </input>

    Be sure to notice Dan's use of single and double quotes.

    You could also use select="umbraco.library:GetDictionaryItem('Locate Button')" if you prefer that.

    cheers,
