RE:   Example to checkbox in XSL
Thanks Mike,
So when I right click on the page and view source I have seen this XML
text as below:
	?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="/vsconsole/xsl/AMTestVoIP.xsl"?>
<AUTOMON_TEST>
		<ACTION>EDIT</ACTION>
		<TESTID>1</TESTID>
		<SUITEID>1</SUITEID>

So I didn't see how to view/generate the html file on this page.
-Thanks,
Jp

An XSLT stylesheet typically takes XML as input and HTML as output. The
browser takes the HTML as input and produces a particular effect on the
screen. So if you want to produce a particular effect on the screen, you
first have to work out what HTML will create this effect, and then you
have
to work out how to create this HTML from your XML (by using XSLT).

XSLT is a programming language, and as with any program, you shouldn't
start
coding until you know (at least in outline) what output you want it to
produce, which in this case means the HTML.

You can't automatically generate the XSLT from the HTML - but in simple
cases, having done an HTML mockup of your page, you can ask yourself
"which
fields in the HTML depend on which fields in the source XML", and then
you
can work backwards by replacing parts of the HTML with bits of XSLT
code,
for example changing

<tr><td>green</td><td>230</td></tr>

to

<xsl:template match="product">
  <tr>
    <td><xsl:value-of select="color"/></td>
    <td><xsl:value-of select="height"/></td>
  </tr>
</xsl:template>

- something I call "fill-in-the-blanks" coding, and which accounts for
the
name "template".

Of course once you get the hang of this you won't usually need to write
the
HTML down first - but it's important to have it clearly in your head as
your
code your XSLT. Certainly the design approach of working backwards from
your
output (rather than forwards from your input) is important when working
with
XSLT, because if ever there's a structure clash between the input and
the
output, your XSLT code will need to follow the output structure rather
than
the input.
