Title: Using XSLT to create an XHTML document

I am new in the XSLT world...    I have read that an XSL style sheet can be used to generate XHTML.  My question is the following:  Do we need a specialized XSL formatting engine to render the result generated by the XSLT (to output it on the screen)?  I know that it should produce an XHTML file viewable on a browser but... How come I do not see that newly generated XHTML file when I apply the stylesheet to the data document?  What steps am I missing? (Obviously I am missing some!)

Any idea/suggestion/correction are more than welcome...
Thanks
Christiane


This is an example of using XSLT to create an XHTML document.  The following stylesheet (XHTMLTranformation.xsl):
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/XSL/Transform/1.0"
  xmlns="http://www.w3.org/Profiles/xhtml1-transitional"
  default-space="strip"
  indent-result="yes">
        <xsl:template match="/">
<html>
        <head>
                <title>Sales Results By Division</title>
        </head>
        <body>
                <table border="1">
                <tr>
                        <th>Division</th>
                        <th>Revenue</th>
                        <th>Growth</th>
                        <th>Bonus</th>
                </tr>
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
                </table>
        </body>
</html>
        </xsl:template>

        <xsl:template match="sales">
                <xsl:apply-templates match="division">
                        <!-- order the result by revenue -->
                        <xsl:sort select="revenue"
                                  data-type="number"
                                  order="descending"/>
                </xsl:apply-templates>
        </xsl:template>

        <xsl:template match="division">
                        <tr>
                        <td><em><xsl:value-of select="@id"/></em></td>
                <xsl:apply-templates select="revenue"/>
                <xsl:apply-templates select="growth"/>
                <xsl:apply-templates select="bonus"/>
                        </tr>

        </xsl:template>

        <xsl:template match="revenue | growth | bonus">
                        <td><xsl:apply-templates/></td>
        </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

---- with the following input document:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml:stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="">

<sales>

        <division id="North">
                <revenue>10</revenue>
                <growth>9</growth>
                <bonus>7</bonus>
        </division>

        <division id="South">
                <revenue>4</revenue>
                <growth>3</growth>
                <bonus>4</bonus>
        </division>

        <division id="West">
                <revenue>6</revenue>
                <growth>-1.5</growth>
                <bonus>2</bonus>
        </division>

</sales>
