Basic XSLT problem....

Hi all I am new to XSLT and am having problems which I cant understand with the following XSL doc, I am using Xalan:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0"?> 
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="kapil/note">
<xsl:value-of select="count(firstName)"/>
<xsl:value-of select="surname"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

The name of the document is kapil.xsl and the XML contains <name><firstName>Pete</firstName><surname>Sampras</surname></name>....

What I want is to print out the fisrtName and surname elements which are contained within the <name> tags. I am not getting any output and cannot see why, please can someone advise me....

Cheers,

Apologies the line in the previous post was wrong, it should have been:

Code:

<xsl:for-each select="kapil/name">

Even with this correct path I am getting no values returned,

Does your xml have an all enclosing kapil element?
