 I'm new to this list and have a question that I'm hoping someone can
help me with. The answer is probably really straightforward but I can't
seem to come up with it.

I'm working on a very simple, bearbones XSL stylesheet to convert an XML
file (using Dublin Core schema) to HTML. The problem I have is
transforming the Identifier field containing an objects url into the <a
href""> tag in my HTML.

This bit of code from my XSL is for the Identifier field :
        <tr>
          <td align="left" valign="top" bgcolor="khaki"> 
             <b>URL(s):</b>
          </td>
          <td align="left" valign="top"><b>

             <xsl:for-each select="dc:identifier">

                 <div class="item-style"> 
                 <a href="{dc:identifier}">
                 <xsl:value-of select="."/><br/>

It produces this output though in my htm document:
<div class="item-style"><a
href="">http://excerpts.contentreserve.com/FormatType-25/0857-1/123846-T
heHouseOfThunder.wma<br></a></div>

No matter what I try so far I don't seem able to get the url valkue to
appear within the <a href""> tag
