[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Data not displaying in HTML table...generated from XML
 Hi
I am quite new to XML and XSL and still make frequent XSL mistakes.
I often can't see why my output to HTML doesn't produce what I want.
Here is my latest little puzzle:
Here is the XML file being processed and one example XML file
that the document funtion points to:
all-links-master-list.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<page-links xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">
<page-link filename="american-factfinder.xml"/>
<page-link filename="ask-eric.xml"/>
<page-link filename="biog-com.xml"/>
<page-link filename="bur-just-stats.xml"/>
<page-link filename="bureau-labor-stats.xml"/>
<page-link filename="bus-stats-web.xml"/>
<page-link filename="cal-dept-finance.xml"/>
<page-link filename="calif-crime-index.xml"/>
<page-link filename="calif-city-profiles.xml"/>
</page-links>
one example file... american-factfinder.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<metadata
xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">
<dc:title>
American FactFinder
</dc:title>

<dc:relation type="IsPartof">stat-pop.htm</dc:relation>
<name-of-xml-file>american-factfinder.xml</name-of-xml-file>
</metadata>
Here is the XSL file... all-links-master-list.xsl
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0"
xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1">
<xsl:output method="html"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<table width="95%" border="1" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="5">
<tr bgcolor="yellow">
<th>URL</th>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Name of XML file</th>
<th>Included on page:</th>
</tr>
<xsl:for-each select="/page-links/page-link">
<xsl:apply-templates select="document(@filename)/metadata"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="metadata">
<xsl:for-each select="/page-links/page-link">
<xsl:apply-templates select="document(@filename)/metadata"/>
</xsl:for-each>
<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select="dc:identifier"/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="dc:title"/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="name-of-xml-file"/></td>
<td><xsl:for-each select="dc:relation"><xsl:value-of
select="."/><br/></xsl:for-each></td>
</tr>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
and the resulting HTML file: all-links-master-list.htm
<html xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1">
<body>
<table width="95%" border="1" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="5">
<tr bgcolor="yellow">

</table>
</body>
</html>
As you can see, it gets one table data correct in each row, but not the
other ones.
Can someone please help me figure this out? I have looked at this for
quite
a long time and can't see the mistake. And again, being new at this,
I have probably done some inefficient XSL thing which may not be
"best practice" or is redundant or something.
Please let me know the best way to approach this and fix it.
Thanks to anyone who has a little time and would like to do the
diagnosis.
I would think any old-time XSL wizards will spot the problem right
away.
