xslt - org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Element type "a" must be followed by either attribute specifications, ">" or "/>" -

i getting error posted in title.

this works:

<xsl:variable name= "data"> <xsl:value-of select="abc"/> </xsl:variable>

but when seek add together variable href doesn't work next code:

<a href="../depts/"{$data}".html"><xsl:value-of select="group"/></a>

i next error:

org.xml.sax.saxparseexception: element type "a" must followed either attribute specifications, ">" or "/>"

how can resolve this?

you have invalid xml because of quotes around {$data} here:

<a href="../depts/"{$data}".html"> ... </a> ^ ^

do need these quotes? isn't want?

<a href="../depts/{$data}.html"> ... </a>
