ASP - XSL creating href issues

I am very very new to ASP and im trying to setup a new email for a friend.

They have a xsl file which is the template for an email which is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="text" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" />

<xsl:template match="/">
Here is the text for the email, go to our website <a href="">here</a>

</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

They want to put in some dynamic values into the email, so i have entered the following

<a href="https://secure.website.com/page.asp?uid=<xsl:value-of select="email/userid"/>">Click here</a>

When i insert that, i keep getting errors, but when i use that code without the href tags, it displays fine.

If someone could help me out that would be great.

Cheers,

What you are looking for is this:

<a href="{email/userid}">

The salient point being that {...} points to the attribute or node value.

You could also try something like this:

<a>
    <xsl:attribute name="href">https://secure.website.com/page.asp?uid=<xsl:value-of select="email/userid" /></xsl:attribute>
</a>

make sure to not have whitespace inside the xsl:attribute tag.
