How can i show attachments as images in a DataView Web Part

Question

I know i can show document attachments this way:

<xsl:element name="SharePoint:AttachmentsField">
          <xsl:attribute name="runat">server</xsl:attribute>
          <xsl:attribute name="ListId">
                 {27A5A2ED-76FB-4DE3-8206-B4BE32C09CFC} </xsl:attribute>
          <xsl:attribute name="FieldName">Attachments</xsl:attribute>
          <xsl:attribute name="ControlMode">Display</xsl:attribute>
          <xsl:attribute name="Visible">true</xsl:attribute>
          <xsl:attribute name="ItemId">
              <xsl:value-of select="@ID"/>
          </xsl:attribute>

          </xsl:element>

But the problem is how can i show it as an image?Not link to the text. Also how can i have it open in a new window. In SP 2007 it was possible :( Thanks in Advance

Answer 1

If you dump just @Attachments in the XSLT, it should return 1 (attachments exist) or 0 (no attachements exist). From there, you can put in some logic to say that if @Attachments = 1 then create an image to _layouts/images/attach.gif.

Answer 2

You can create calculate column in SharePoint list and show that column in DataView Web Part instead of attachment column field.
