Re: template matching.. display the data

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.
