It is currently not displaying my table at all and I don't quite understand why. If anyone can see a problem with my XSL document can you please reply. Can I use multiple uses of templates throughout my document?

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html" omit-xml-declaration="yes" />

<xsl:template match="/"> 
<xsl:element name="html"> 
<xsl:element name="head"> 
<link rel="STYLESHEET" type="text/css" href="are2007.css"/> 
<title>Boo Hoo</title> 
</xsl:element> 

<xsl:element name="body"> 
<xsl:text>Events Avaliable ..</xsl:text>
<xsl:element name="br" /> 
<xsl:element name="br" /> 
<xsl:apply-templates select="/are2007/eventid" />
</xsl:element> 
</xsl:element> 
</xsl:template> 

<xsl:template match="eventid"> 
<img src="images/arrow.gif"/>
<xsl:element name="a"> 
<xsl:value-of select="eventname"/>
</xsl:element> 
</xsl:template> 

<xsl:template match="male"> 
<xsl:element name="table"> 

<xsl:element name="tr"> 
<xsl:element name="td"> 
<xsl:element name="a">
<xsl:attribute name="href">displayevents.cfm?id=<xsl:value-of select="@id"/></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:text>Male</xsl:text>
</xsl:element> 
</xsl:element> 

<xsl:element name="td"> 
<xsl:if test="@status = 'eventopen'">
<xsl:element name="span"> 
<xsl:attribute name="class">View Event Details</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:element> 
</xsl:if>
</xsl:element> 
</xsl:element> 

<xsl:element name="tr"> 
<xsl:element name="td"> 
<xsl:element name="a"> 
<xsl:attribute name="href">displayevents.cfm?id=<xsl:value-of select="@id"/></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:text>Female</xsl:text>
</xsl:element> 
</xsl:element> 

<xsl:element name="td"> 
<xsl:text>Open</xsl:text>
</xsl:element> 

</xsl:element> 
</xsl:element> 
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

hello there, I'm currently running a WAMPS web-server and using XML Spy to debug and compile my XML and XSL files. What will stylus allow me to do differently? I found this place hoping I could speak to someone with a little bit of XSL knowledge as I am totally stumped.

I have downloaded and installed stylus home edition 2007 and am using my trial period to see how i go using this software. looks good to start with, i like the whole preview idea, without flicking back and forward to IE. in my preview panel i see my page displayed, however the table is still not present. don't have a clue why its not working. its something with my 3rd template. it doesn't seem to recognize it at all.

<eventname>Downhill</eventname>
<eventdescription>Description here for downhill</eventdescription>
<eventlocation>Sweden</eventlocation>
<eventtime>10pm</eventtime>

<male status="eventopen">

<male status="eventclosed">

</silver>
<bronze>
<competitorname>Mrs Bronze</competitorname>
<competitorcountry>Mrs Bronze</competitorcountry>
<competitorfinaltime>Mrs Bronze</competitorfinaltime>
</bronze>
</male>

</eventid>
</mofish>

See attached solution, It was easy to design using Stylus Studio XML Publisher, I suggest to download enterprise edition and give it a try

thanks ever so much, I see how this works and where i have went wrong. I have always been taught not to use CSS inside the actual XSL file and always to link to an external style sheet using class's. I will now attempt to go through this working example and link to my seperate CSS document.

thanks again for all your help. I will try that as you suggest, as I have another page to construct which will be similar.

hello again. just a quick question regarding choose statements, as i cant seem to find the equivalent to an "else if" in XSL. what i'm trying to say is.. if the gate it open display in green, else display in red. however getting that to work is proving a problem. do i have the right idea behind this using choose the statement.

<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when match="male/@status = 'eventopen'">
<div class="open">Open</div>
</xsl:when>

<xsl:otherwise>

<xsl:when match="male/@status = 'eventclosed'">
<div class="closed">Closed</div>
</xsl:when>

</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
