just guestSubject: how to echo/control rendering xml tags
Author: just guest

i guess i am asking an awfully naive question, but well got to ask it.
i have a simple xml :

<Inventory>
<Movies>
<Comedy>something about mary </Comedy>
<Comedy>the master of disguise (Sick movie i admit) </Comedy>
<Comedy>Ace Ventura (ughh!!!?) </Comedy>

<Action>Terminator</Action>
</Action>Independence Day </Action>
</Action>Nowhere to run </Action>
</Movies>
</Inventory>

Now my question is how do i write an xsl that will exactly echo this xml
been looking at the 'identity transformation' articles, but when i apply one
all i am gettin back is the 'result output' not the tags.
plus i would want to control sending the output.
for example i want to print something like this:

Movies..................
Comedy : Something about mary
Comedy : Ace ventura
Comedy : The master of disguise

Action: Independence day, Nowhere to run (printing the tag 'Action' only once)

how do i achieve that?
any help is appreciated

An identity transformation like the following does
that exact copy of the original input document

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>


What you are expecting to get as result can be done with the following

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="text"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:text>Movies:</xsl:text>
<xsl:apply-templates select="/Inventory/Movies/Comedy"/>

<xsl:text>

Action: </xsl:text>
<xsl:apply-templates select="/Inventory/Movies/Action"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="Comedy">
<xsl:text>
Comedy:</xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="Action">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
<xsl:if test="position() != last()">
<xsl:text>, </xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

thanks for the reply IVAN,
the problem still persists in IE6.0 when i apply the transformation that
you posted and then view the xml in the browser window. am i doing
something very silly? or is it a problem with IE?

thanks in adv.
