XSLT output to HTML

In my XSLT file, I have the following:

<input type="button" value= <xsl:value-of select="name">>

It's an error as it violates XML rule.

What I actually want is having a value from an XML file assigned to 'value' parameter in the HTML output. How do I do this? Thanks

value="{name}"

See http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#attribute-value-templates

EDIT: Changed {$name} to {name}

It's not at all necessary to use xsl:element; I don't know why so many people are suggesting it. This will work:

<input type="button">
   <xsl:attribute name="value">
      <xsl:value-of name="name"/>
   </xsl:attribute>
</input>

...but even better is using an attribute value template:

<input type="button" value="{name}"/>

Yes, using <xsl:element> is the way to go here, but you got your parsing error because you didn't close out the <xsl:value-of select="name" /> element. Notice the / at the end; all XML elements need closure, unlike HTML.

<xsl:element name="input">
<xsl:attribute name="type">button</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="value" select="name">
</xsl:element>

Excellent reference to HTML/XSL

you shoud do something like this 

<xsl:element name="a"><xsl:attribute name="href"><xsl:value-of select="url" /></xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="target">_blank</xsl:attribute></xsl:element>
