RE: template matching.. display the data

Check the structure of your XML
Match="/" matches the root node
and xsl:for-each assumes that Name is a child of the root node.

If this is your structure then pass I dunno what are you using?

Duane,
	Thanks for the response. However the <value-of select> tag is 
not living up to expectations!

here is my xsl file

<xsl:template match="/">
   <xsl:for-each select="Name">
      <xsl:value-of select="Name"/>
   </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

This however produces a blank page.

If i put in a "Hello world" in side of the for-each, it get's printed out!

So where am i going wrong here?

Would be great if someone could point out my mistake.

Thanks much
Nilu

Hello Nilofer:

Try this

<xsl:for-each select="Name">
   Hello, the name is:  <xsl:value-of select="Name"/>
</xsl:for-each>

This will print the value of the name for each.

If you want to have it diplayed in blue text,  you can use xsl to do
this also.

<xsl:for-each select="Names">
      <DIV STYLE="background-color:gray; color:blue; padding:4px;
width:50%%;">
        <SPAN STYLE="font-weight:bold; color:blue"><xsl:value-of
select="Names"/></SPAN>
       </DIV>
</xsl:for-each>

Any tag that occurs only once like the <xsl:value-of select="Names"/>
it is really important to remember to use the / character after the
select value.

I hope this helps.
