XSL Stylesheet Problem

Hi all,

I'm having a problem with an XSL Stylesheet file that I've written. Basically, what the XSL stylesheet does is style the usaOrig XML file so that it looks all nice and fancy.:D

Here's the XSL Stylesheet code:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl">
<xsl:template match="/">
  <html>
   <head>
    <title>State Information</title>
   </head>
   <body>
    <table width="100%" border="1">
     <tr style="background-color:red;color:white">
       <th>State</th>
       <th>Capital</th>
       <th>Population</th>
       <th>Area</th>
       <th>County</th>
       <th>County Seat</th>
       <th>County Population</th>
     </tr>
     <xsl:for-each select="usa/state">

      <tr>
        <td>
          <xsl:value-of select="stName" />
        </td>
        <td>
         <xsl:value-of select="stCapital" />
        </td>
        <td>
         <xsl:value-of select="stPopulation" />
        </td>
        <td>
         <xsl:value-of select="stArea" />
        </td>
    <xsl:for-each select="stCounties/county"></xsl:for-each>
        <td>
         <xsl:value-of select="coName" />
        </td>
        <td>
         <xsl:value-of select="coSeat" />
        </td>
        <td>
         <xsl:value-of select="coPopulation" />
        </td>
      </tr>
     </xsl:for-each>
    </table>
    </body>
   </html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

I looked at the XML file after I applied the necessary changes and saw that the data stopped in the middle of the table Now, I think the problem lies in the XSL file but I'm not sure. Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance,

What's this empty for-each <xsl:for-each select="stCounties/county"></xsl:for-each> supposed to be doing? I can't try out your xsl coz I don't know what your xml file looks like.

You are also using an outdated form of xsl, developed by Microsoft before the final standards were agreed. You're are going to find documentation and support for this version very difficult to come by. Try switching to XSLT, the first step is changing the xsl namespace declaration to "http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform".

What's the XSLT version? I copied and pasted your corrections and I could not view the stylesheet because I got an error message stating that the version attribute was missing.

You'll need version="1.0" in the stylesheet element.
