pathData/datapointer question

Hi all,
I wish to create a simple text string concatinated from values held within a xml file.
The xml content will contain the following

<pages>
<item>
<title>BBC News</title>
<link>http://www.bbc.co.uk/news</link>
</item>
</pages>

I wish to generate within a <text> tag with the following text.

<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news" >BBC News</a>

I have created a <class> which is provided the item context of the XML document. There are many item records, so the class will be called for each row.

Currently I have the following <text> element defined.

<text name="tabName" fontsize="10" datapath="title/text()" font="vera" width="180">
<method name="applyData" args="d">
this.setText( '&lt;a href="" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;u&gt;' + d + '&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;' );
</method>
</text>

I wish to add the content of the link element to the href attribute. Can anyone advise me on how I may change the datapath="title/text()" to datapath="."

then within the method "applyData" reference the 'title' and 'link' elements when concatenating the string?

All help welcome.
Thanks
