You could actually replace the entire id with anything unique to your page.

I have been looking at some xsl in ItemStyle.xsl and it looks like I may need to get the OuterTemplate functions involved somehow? I have tried modifying my code to look something like this: <blockquote> <xsl:variable name="PolicyNameLink"> <xsl:call-template name="OuterTemplate.GetTitle"> <xsl:with-param name="Title" select="@Policy_x0020 _Names_x0020_2009"/> <xsl:with-param name="UrlColumnName" select="'LinkUrl'"/> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:variable> <xsl:call-template name="OuterTemplate.CallPresenceStatusIconTemplate"/> <a href="{$SafeLinkUrl}" target="{$LinkTarget}" title="{@LinkToolTip}"> <xsl:value-of select="$PolicyNameLink"/> </blockquote> But this breaks the web part, lol. Any ideas? Is the OuterTemplate idea worth pursuing? This XSL is going to be the death of me! jbhoward on "How to add LinkUrl in XSLT in ListFormWebPart" http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/how-to-add-linkurl-in-xslt-in-listformwebpart#post-9739 Wed, 02 Sep 2009 10:31:02 +0000 jbhoward 9739@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ David, Try adding disable-output-escaping="yes" to your <code>xsl:value</code> tag. Alternately, in Design view, click the chevron next to the data field and set Format as: to Rich Text. Does the same thing.

I just had to add the 'RedirectURL=""' attribute to the code of my SharePoint GoBackButton: <blockquote> <SharePoint:GoBackButton runat="server" ControlMode="Display" id="gobackbutton2" RedirectUrl="/sites/insurance/default.aspx"/> </blockquote> My problem is with one of the data fields: <blockquote> <tr> <td width="190px" valign="top" class="ms-formlabel"> <H3 class="ms-standardheader"> Policy Names 2009 </H3> </td> <td width="400px" valign="top" class="ms-formbody"> <xsl:value-of select="@Policy_x0020_Names_x0020_2009"/> </td> </tr> </blockquote> How do I use XSL to return a linked url data field for Policy Names 2009? Currently it just returns plain text. I need to be able to click on the field and go to its own DispForm.aspx page, which is what the default LFWP does already. eric on "How to add LinkUrl in XSLT in ListFormWebPart" http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/how-to-add-linkurl-in-xslt-in-listformwebpart#post-9735 Wed, 02 Sep 2009 09:58:28 +0000 eric 9735@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ I was working on some XSLT stuff last week to redirect some button clicks, here are a couple resources I found helpful: <a href="http://autosponge.spaces.live.com/blog/cns" rel="nofollow">http://autosponge.spaces.live.com/blog/cns</a>!D7F85948C20F0293!233.entry <a href="http://www.sharepointings.com/2008/07/29/custom-list-forms/" rel="nofollow">http://www.sharepointings.com/2008/07/29/custom-list-forms/</a> davids@tamu.edu on "How to add LinkUrl in XSLT in ListFormWebPart" http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/how-to-add-linkurl-in-xslt-in-listformwebpart#post-9732 Wed, 02 Sep 2009 09:45:12 +0000 [email protected] 9732@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ I am hiding my default ListFormWebPart on my DispForm.aspx page so that I can hide the Target Audience field and change the RedirectUrl on the 'Close' buttons, however when I added my Custom List Form everything is looking great except I can't figure out how to link my 'Policy Names 2009' field (and 2008) back to their own detailed DispForm.aspx page. It is just giving me the policy names in plain text. The original ListFormWebPart has these links already instead of the plain text, but since the ListFormWebPart is unable to be exported I am unable to view the XSLT to see how they did it. Here is the relevant code for my Custom List Form: <blockquote> <xsl:template name="dvt_1.rowview"> <tr> <td> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td width="190px" valign="top" class="ms-formlabel"> <H3 class="ms-standardheader"> Department Code </H3> </td> <td width="400px" valign="top" class="ms-formbody"> <xsl:value-of select="@Department_x0020_Code"/> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="190px" valign="top" class="ms-formlabel"> <H3 class="ms-standardheader"> Unit Code </H3> </td> <td width="400px" valign="top" class="ms-formbody"> <xsl:value-of select="@Unit_x0020_Code"/> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="190px" valign="top" class="ms-formlabel"> <H3 class="ms-standardheader"> Department Name </H3> </td> <td width="400px" valign="top" class="ms-formbody"> <xsl:value-of select="@Department_x0020_Name"/> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="190px" valign="top" class="ms-formlabel"> <H3 class="ms-standardheader"> Policy Names 2009 </H3> </td> <td width="400px" valign="top" class="ms-formbody"> <xsl:value-of select="@Policy_x0020_Names_x0020_2009"/> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="190px" valign="top" class="ms-formlabel"> <H3 class="ms-standardheader"> Policy Names 2008 </H3> </td> <td width="400px" valign="top" class="ms-formbody"> <xsl:value-of select="@Policy_x0020_Names_x0020_2008"/> </td> </tr>  <xsl:if test="$dvt_1_automode = '1'" ddwrt:cf_ignore="1"> <tr> <td colspan="99" class="ms-vb"> </td> </tr> </xsl:if> </table> </td> </tr> </xsl:template> </blockquote>
