Why won't this XML code work? URGENT HELP NEEDED!!!
-
I'm trying to add some XSL to my XML page. I have checked my CXSL code with XMLSpy and it's well formed. I insert the following line which works fine when I open up the XML file on it's own: However, when I try openoing up my whole html document, it doesn't work. The table comes up, but there's no colour, border adjustments, nothing! Why is this? I've checked websites and even a book and they all say this code is correct. I want to get my XSL inside the HTML file but for some reason it isn't letting me. I have to hand this work in tomorrow morning so please help me quick!
When you post XML/(X)HTML documents, you need to change all the < to < and > to >. Or, you can just check the "Ignore HTML tags in this message (good for code snippets)" checkbox below the textarea. If you post it again, I can take a look at it and maybe help you. "we must lose precision to make significant statements about complex systems." -deKorvin on uncertainty

This code won't work for my XML file. i don't know why. The actual table is being displayed fine but it isn't aligned to the middle and the text and border should be in colour. Hope you can help! :)
Okay, lots of things. First, using an XML datasource in IE to populate a table (as in your HTML file) will not apply the stylesheet to the XML data. Instead, you must put your styles in the TABLE with the DATASRC. Second, using what you posted, your stylesheet has some incorrect values in it. Remember, XML is case-sensitive. Thus, "cd" and "CD" are different. Here's a stylesheet that will do what you want for the XML file. XSL file <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:template match="/"> <html> <body> <h2>My CD Collection</h2> <table border="1"> <tr bgcolor="#9acd32"> <th align="left">Title</th> <th align="left">Artist</th> </tr> <xsl:for-each select="/CATALOG/CD"> <tr> <td><xsl:value-of select="./TITLE"/></td> <td><xsl:value-of select="./ARTIST"/></td> <td><xsl:value-of select="./COUNTRY"/></td> <td><xsl:value-of select="./COMPANY"/></td> <td><xsl:value-of select="./PRICE"/></td> <td><xsl:value-of select="./YEAR"/></td> </tr> </xsl:for-each> </table> </body> </html> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> "we must lose precision to make significant statements about complex systems." -deKorvin on uncertainty
