As far as I can tell, Mukul is the only one providing a full solution. Though the question was only on the attribute value, the text value of the element must also be computed to satisfy the output. If the text value can be hardcoded, then so can the attribute, at the value is the same.

If you don't want a variable, you would have to do:

<a href="cities.php?city={city/name}"><xsl:value-of select="city/name" /></a> (Or only "name" instead of "city/name" if using the match criteria below)

I myself tend to use variables when the value is used more than once.

Regards, and happy new year,

Why to use a variable? it's shorter to use {city/name} inside the HTML attribute, or maybe I've missing something.
