[xslt] How to concat a string to xsl:value-of select="...?

<a>
    <xsl:attribute name="href"> 
     <xsl:value-of select="/*/properties/property[@name='report']/@value" />
    </xsl:attribute>
</a>    

Is there any way to cancat another string to

<xsl:value-of select="/*/properties/property[@name='report']/@value"  />

I need to pass some text to href attribute in addition to the report property value

Not the most readable solution, but you can mix the result from a value-of with plain text:

<a>
  <xsl:attribute name="href"> 
    Text<xsl:value-of select="/*/properties/property[@name='report']/@value"/>Text
  </xsl:attribute>
</a>

Three Answers :

Simple :

<img>
    <xsl:attribute name="src">
        <xsl:value-of select="//your/xquery/path"/>
        <xsl:value-of select="'vmLogo.gif'"/>
    </xsl:attribute>
</img>

Using 'concat' :

<img>
    <xsl:attribute name="src">
        <xsl:value-of select="concat(//your/xquery/path,'vmLogo.gif')"/>                    
    </xsl:attribute>
</img>

Attribute shortcut as suggested by @TimC

<img src="{concat(//your/xquery/path,'vmLogo.gif')}" />

The easiest way to concat a static text string to a selected value is to use element.

<a>
  <xsl:attribute name="href"> 
    <xsl:value-of select="/*/properties/property[@name='report']/@value" />
    <xsl:text>staticIconExample.png</xsl:text>
  </xsl:attribute>
</a>

Use:

<a href="wantedText{/*/properties/property[@name='report']/@value)}"></a>

Easiest method is

  <TD>
    <xsl:value-of select="concat(//author/first-name,' ',//author/last-name)"/>
  </TD>
