 Hello Nilofer:
It's Duane Nickull (xmldirectory.com) again. I have made your files for
you and uploaded them onto my server. They are available for viewing
at:
http://www.xmldirectory.com/tests/
There are two files. The first one, name.xml, is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<?xml:stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="name.xsl"?>
<Name>
<!--here is the first person-->
<person>
<first>
Nilofer
</first>
<last>
lastnamehere
</last>
</person>
<!--here is another person-->
<person>
<first>
Duane
</first>
<last>
Nickull
</last>
</person>
</Name>
As you can see, I have removed the attributes you had of type="text" and
color="blue" fromt eh xml document. That's what xml is all about,
separating content from design markup. The text and color stuff belongs
in the *.xsl document.
Now here is the *.xsl document. I have streamlined it a bit:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<HTML xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl">
<head></head>
<body>
<xsl:for-each select="Name/person">
<DIV STYLE="background-color:teal; color:white; padding:4px;
width:50%;">
<SPAN STYLE="font-weight:italic; color:white">
This person's first name is: <xsl:value-of select="first"/><br/>
This person's last name is: <xsl:value-of select="last"/><hr/>
</SPAN>
</DIV>
</xsl:for-each>
</body>
</HTML>
If you go to my server and view this in IE 5.0 you will see the names
and values expressed in this *.xsl sheet.
Play around with this a bit and see what happens.
