Lori - I'm not sure what you are referring to here as you seem to have a
mix of your own XML tags and some HTML tags, so if you are putting this
straight into IE5 it will just ignore the tags it does not recognize.
If you restructure your XML something like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="test table.xsl"?>
<tabledata>
<thead>
<entry>Col1 header</entry>
<entry>Col2 header</entry>
<entry>Col3 header</entry>
</thead>
<tbody>
<row>
<entry>Col 1</entry>
<entry>Col 2</entry>
<entry>Col 3</entry>
</row>
<row>
<entry span="3">Row 2 spans all columns.</entry>
</row>
</tbody>
</tabledata>
Then you could use a stylesheet something similar to this to get some valid
HTML output to display the data as an HTML table (I'm not saying this is
the best way and I may have over complicated things here, but it should
point you in the right direction):
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl">
<xsl:template><xsl:apply-templates/></xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/">
<HTML>
<p><b>HTML Table</b></p>
<xsl:apply-templates select="tabledata"/>
</HTML>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="tabledata">
<table>
<xsl:apply-templates select="./thead"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="./tbody"/>
</table>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="thead">
<thead>
<xsl:apply-templates select="./entry" mode="thead"/>
</thead>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="entry" mode="thead">
<th><xsl:value-of select="."/></th>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="tbody">
<tbody>
<xsl:apply-templates select="./row"/>
</tbody>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="row">
<tr><xsl:apply-templates select="entry" mode="tbody"/></tr>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="entry" mode="tbody">
<td><xsl:value-of select="."/></td>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Hope this helps,
