[xsl] FW: Newbie question

["David at roamware" <david@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I am new to XSLT. I have been using Treebeard as my editor. I get no errors,
but also no output. I have spent ages looking at the xsl and cannot see what
is wrong. One thing not entirely clear to me is how the context changes,
this is not well epxlained anywhere I have looked. So I tend to use absolute
XPath expressions.

Here is my test.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<CorporateActionAnnouncement xmlns="http://tempuri.org/test.xsd";>
	<AnnouncementDetails>
		<Released>2004-09-27</Released>
	</AnnouncementDetails>
	<Announcement>
		<Title>test</Title>
	</Announcement>
	<CorporateAction>
		<GeneralInformationBlock>
			<FunctionofMessage>2</FunctionofMessage>
		</GeneralInformationBlock>
		<UnderlyingSecurities>
			<UnderlyingSecurityISIN>
				<Listing>PLIS</Listing>
			</UnderlyingSecurityISIN>
		</UnderlyingSecurities>
		<CorporateActionDetail>
			<RecordDate>2004-08-20</RecordDate>
		</CorporateActionDetail>
		<CorporateActionOption>
			<CorporateActionOptionNumber>001</CorporateActionOptionNumber>
			<CorporateActionOptionsCode>Securities
Option</CorporateActionOptionsCode>
			<DefaultProcessingFlag>1</DefaultProcessingFlag>
			<CashPaymentDetails>
				<PaymentDate>2004-10-06</PaymentDate>
			</CashPaymentDetails>
			<SecuritiesMovement>
				<DebitCreditIndicator></DebitCreditIndicator>
			</SecuritiesMovement>
		</CorporateActionOption>
		<CorporateActionOption>
			<CorporateActionOptionNumber>002</CorporateActionOptionNumber>
			<CorporateActionOptionsCode>Securities
Option</CorporateActionOptionsCode>
			<DefaultProcessingFlag>2</DefaultProcessingFlag>
			<CashPaymentDetails>
				<PaymentDate></PaymentDate>
			</CashPaymentDetails>
			<SecuritiesMovement>
				<DebitCreditIndicator>Credit</DebitCreditIndicator>
			</SecuritiesMovement>
		</CorporateActionOption>
	</CorporateAction>
</CorporateActionAnnouncement>

Here is my xsl

Thx.
