Subject: getting element name into html using MSXML3

Hello,
    I havne't seen this question asked in the few weeks I have been on the
list.  I am hoping someone can help.  I am using ie5 to aprse my documents,
and I have installed the May Preview Release of XSL from MS.  I presume this
means that my ie5 now parses with the updated engine.  I am trying to output
the name of the element in order to serve as a header for the value of the
element.

Currently it outputs the following HTML:
<html>
<head>
<title>Today's News</title>
<link href="default.css" rel="STYLESHEET" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
<table align="center" bgcolor="#808080" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2"
border="1">
<tr>
<td>
<div class="right">
Mon May 22, 2000
</div>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<div class="center">
News headline of day Headlines
   </div>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
News headline of day
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<div class="center">
finance headline Headlines
   </div>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
finance headline
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

Obviously the problem is that it outputs the value of the children of
content instead of their names. The problem is, of course, in the
<xsl:value-of> statement, but if I use 'select" MS balks at any name() or
similar methods.  Using "test" I get wrong result.  Many thanks for any
assistance.  Will

Following is the XML:
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<?xml:stylesheet type='text/xsl' href='../news.xsl'?>
<content>
 <date>
  Mon May 22, 2000
 </date>
 <news>
  News headline of day
 </news>
 <finance>
  finance headline
 </finance>
</content>

Here is the XSL:
<xsl:template match="/">
    <html>
 <head>
 <title>Today's News</title>
 <link href="default.css" rel="STYLESHEET" type="text/css"/>
 </head>
 <body>
  <table align="center" bgcolor="#808080" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2"
border="1">
   <tr>
       <td>

     <div class="right">
     <xsl:value-of select="/content/date"/>
     </div>
    </td>
   </tr>
   <xsl:apply-templates/>
 </table>
 </body>
    </html>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="/content">
 <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/content/*[index() > 0] ">
 <tr>
     <td>
   <div class="center">
   <xsl:value-of test="local-name(this)"/> Headlines
   </div>
  </td>
 </tr>
 <tr>
     <td>
   <xsl:value-of select="."/>
  </td>
 </tr>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
