I knw its pretty basic question but I have just started reading it...

I have a variable name

<variable name="NAME"> http://www.yahoo.com/<xsl:value-of select="$someothervariable"/> </variable>

and i want to use it in like this

I have used these two approaches but it didn't work

<a href="{NAME}">HELLO</a> <a href="<xsl:value-of select="$NAME"/>

Any idea how to achieve this...

Thanks,

You need to combine your two approaches:

<xsl:variable name="NAME">yourValue</xsl:variable> <a href="{$NAME}" />

Can you provide some more context on your XSL? It could be a variable scoping issue. Or are there conditionals where your variable is first set?
Its working fine but there is empty spaces before and after the value in a tag.
That'll be the newlines you have surrounding your expression in the <variable></variable> tag. Try removing those newlines to get rid of leading/trailing spaces.
How do you use the same variable URL for multiple anchor tags? If I do another <a href="{$NAME}" /> tag, on the web page it simply tries to link to "NAME".
