IE5.5 is somewhat messed up, when it comes to xslt support.

You might try rewriting the the anchor creation to something like this.

<xsl:element name="A">
<xsl:attribute name="href">
<xsl:text>#</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="@id"/>
<xsl:text>-DESCRIPTION</xsl:text>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="name">
<xsl:value-of select="@id"/>
<xsl:text>-COST</xsl:text>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select="name"/>
</xsl:element>

Try not to use the text nodes then.
This might work.

<xsl:element name="A">
<xsl:attribute name="href">
#<xsl:value-of select="@id"/>-DESCRIPTION
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="name">
<xsl:value-of select="@id"/>-COST
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select="name"/>
</xsl:element>

It should, both your original code and my first suggestion works in xalan.

Hi thanks a lot buddy it worked I am able to see the results...
but .......

It is not nevigating to the corresponding link when I clicked on hyperlink instead it is staying there only..

what should I do to work it...

in HTML if we mention #xx then It will navigate to the corresponding link where that was referred...

Here I got this

file:///C:/web/juicers.xml#wheateena in address bar....

Thanks in advance..
and once again thank you very much for ur solution

I see your point.

I don't think there is any way to get around that, without moving the xsl transformation to the server side.

Try taking a look at the html file.
In the name attributes, you will see a bunch of escape characters. These are caused by the white space after the text "-DESCRIPTION" and "-COST". You could just remove all the white space.
But the cleanest solution is of course to wrap all the text in xsl:text nodes, as in my original response.
