try:
<input type="text" name="firstName">
<xsp:attribute name="value"><xsp:expr>
<esql:get-string column="firstname"/>
</xsp:expr></xsp:attribute>
</input>
(xsp:attribute assumes all whitespace is important - probably erroneously,
but you never know).
or if you just can't get that to work:
<input type="{@type}" name="{@name}" maxlength="{@maxlength}" size="{@size}">
<xsl:attribute name="value">
<xsl:call-template name="strip-whitespace">
<xsl:with-param name="arg" select="@value"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:attribute>
</input>
maybe see esxlt.org or xsltsl.sourceforge.net for a strip-whitespace
xslt function if you can't figure out how to make one.
