Hi Bas

Would'nt it be solved if you write your variable like this:

<xsl:variable name="gen">&amp;<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[test]]></xsl:text> </xsl:variable>

Hi Jan,

It is not the solution. It still outputs the &amp;

This is the full source:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [
 <!ENTITY nbsp "&#x00A0;">
 
<!ENTITY amp "<![CDATA[&amp;amp;]]>">
]>

 <xsl:variable name="source" select="1128" />
 <xsl:variable name="gen">&amp;<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">test</xsl:text> </xsl:variable>
 
 <xsl:template match="/">
  <script type="text/javascript">
     <![CDATA[
  $(document).ready(
   function(){
    $('ul#advertisements').innerfade({
    speed: ]]>1<![CDATA[000,
    timeout: ]]><xsl:value-of select="$currentPage/data [@alias = 'interval']"/><![CDATA[000,

   });
  });]]>
   </script>
   <div id="advertentie-inhoud"><a href="#" style="width:298px; height:247px; display:block; text-decoration:none;">&nbsp;</a></div>
   <div id="advertentie-kader">
    <ul id="advertisements" style="margin:0px; padding:0px;">
     <xsl:for-each select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById($source)/node">
     <xsl:variable name="afbeelding" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia(data [@alias = 'AdvertentieImage'],'false')/data [@alias='umbracoFile']" />
      <li style="margin:0px; padding:0px;">
       <div  style="width:367px; height:247px; background-image:url(/umbraco/ImageGen.ashx?image={$afbeelding}{$gen})"><span class="advertentie-tekst-1"><span class="advertentie-tekst-2"><xsl:value-of select="data [@alias = 'AdvertentieText']"/></span></span></div>
      </li>
     </xsl:for-each>
    </ul>
   </div>
 </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

The expanded "&amp;" on the querystring may look unusual but all browsers everywhere support it as if it were a simple "&" so it isn't a problem in actual usage.

Beyond it looking odd, does it in fact work properly for you?

Hi Doug,

Thanx for your reply, i want to use it as a stylesheet backgroundimage, when i look in the outputsource the &amp; ends the stylesheet property, so the image wont work as it should.

Cheers,

Bas

I have done something similar and it has worked just fine.

In my case I need to select the appropriate banner image and display it as a div's background-image. The site editors select the banner from all those they've uploaded and I use ImageGen to enforce dimensions and such.

I had thought of processing trying to process all the css with a macro to auto-generate the proper output. But then the css would change all the time and couldn't be cached on the browser.

Then I thought I'd pre-populate the css with all the possible banner images as unique classes and just assign a class when the site editor selected a banner image. But that isn't maintainable since they may upload new banner images at any time and not remember to also update the css.

What I ended up doing was using a macro to add a style="" statement in my markup to set the background-image. The end result of the markup looks like this:

<div id="banner" style="background-image: url('/umbraco/imagegen.ashx?image=/media/1181/banner-Ski.png&amp;Class=banner');">

In my template I have this:

<div id="banner" style="<umbraco:Macro Alias='Style-BannerImage' runat='server'/>">

And in my macro I have code for selecting the image from the document and then outputing the style information with:

<xsl:text>background-image: url('/umbraco/imagegen.ashx?image=</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="$image" />
<xsl:text>&amp;Class=banner');</xsl:text>

There are other ways you might code this but this works well for me even with the &amp; in the markup and css.

cheers,
doug.
