Hi Priyanka, First I advise you to become a member of the "XSL-List - the Open Forum on XSL" at www.mulberrytech.com. In most cases you'll get an answer to your question within an hour. Furthermore I advise you to read a good book about XSL(T), for example XSLT 2nd Edition, Programmer's Reference, by Michael Kay, ISBN: 1-861005-06-7. Your basic programming technique is not XSL-like. You are programming sequentially while you should think in templates! The first line of your XSL should be: <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> The WD-xsl is a non-standard Microsoft Working Draft. It could be that you have to upgrade your browser. (your XSL works fine with me). IE comes standard with MSXML.DLL, the first XML-parser which cannot transform well. You can upgrade to MSXML3.DLL via the Microsift site. Maybe this or the WD-xsl-line is your major-problem. I rewrote your XSL (which works OK) in XSL-style, to give you an idea what I mean: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="Parent"> <html> <body> <table border="1"> <tr> <td>Child1</td> <td>Child2</td> <td>Child3</td> <td>Child4</td> <td>Child5</td> <td>Child6</td> </tr> <xsl:apply-templates select="Child"/> <th> <h1>Children</h1> </th> <tr> <td>Sibling1</td> <td>Sibling2</td> <td>Sibling3</td> <td>Sibling4</td> <td>Sibling5</td> </tr> <xsl:apply-templates select="Child/Children"/> </table> </body> </html> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="Child"> <tr> <td><xsl:value-of select="Child1"/></td> <td><xsl:value-of select="Child2"/></td> <td><xsl:value-of select="Child3"/></td> <td><xsl:value-of select="Child4"/></td> <td><xsl:value-of select="Child5"/></td> <td><xsl:value-of select="Child6"/></td> </tr> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="Children"> <xsl:apply-templates select="Siblings"/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="Siblings"> <tr> <td><xsl:value-of select="Sibling1"/></td> <td><xsl:value-of select="Sibling2"/></td> <td><xsl:value-of select="Sibling3"/></td> <td><a href="{Sibling4}"><xsl:value-of select="Sibling4"/></a></td> <!-- my problem spot..--> <td><xsl:value-of select="Sibling5"/></td> </tr> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Greetings René {@ @} ^ \_/ "You don't need eyes to see, you need vision!" -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: Priyanka Asija [mailto:priyanka@n...] Verzonden: maandag 27 augustus 2001 9:09 Aan: xml-dev@l...
