[xsl] xsl:attribute introducing a lot of whitespace

[Vijay <rao_vij@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I am using xsl:attribute to generate href links .Here is my code. The
xml is a simple juicers and then multiple juicer with various attributes. I
need to create bookmark type links within the same page.

      <xsl:variable
name="namevar" select="name"/>
         <td>
          <a>
<xsl:attribute name="href">
            #<xsl:value-of
select="translate($namevar,' ','_')"/>_desc
           </xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="name">
            <xsl:value-of
select="translate($namevar,' ','_')"/>_cost
           </xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select = "name"/>           
          </a>
        </td>

Here
is where the above link would point to

          <a>
<xsl:attribute name="href">
            #<xsl:value-of
select="translate($namevar,' ','_')"/>_cost
</xsl:attribute> 
           <xsl:attribute name="name">
<xsl:value-of select="translate($namevar,' ','_')"/>_desc
</xsl:attribute>
           <xsl:value-of select = "name"/>
          </a>


I
see that the generated html from the browser produces a lot of whitespace.
This is what I see in the generated source and because of the whitespace the
links don't work. 

<td><a href="
            #OJ_Home_Juicer_desc
" name="OJ_Home_Juicer_cost
           ">OJ Home Juicer</a></td>
<td>

When I
strip the white space and bring it in one line in the html and then open and
click the links it works fine.

How can I make this work?

Thanks in advance
VJ
