When displaying the column @Author in a Data View Web Part (DVWP) SharePoint displays a link to the UserDisp.aspx page.
If you don’t want to have the link just extract the Person’s name from the column HTML generated code.
Just replace:
<xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping=”yes” select=”@Author”/>
By:
2007
<xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping=”yes” select=”substring-after(substring-before(substring-after(@Author, ‘ID=’), ‘<’), ‘>’)”/>
UPDATED:
Here is the code for Sharepoint 2010 version
<xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping=”yes” select=”substring-after(substring-before(substring-after(@Author, ‘ID=’), ‘<’), ‘>’)”/>
