Hi firstly im really new to xsl + xpath. im using xsl on windows xp so im not sure what processor it is
:(
anyway, im trying to write an xsl file that will print out every element name in an xml file as well as the attributes.
Presently im trying to print out the name of every element.i have the following:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl = "http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version = "1.0" >
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<fieldset>
<legend>
<font face="verdana,arial,helvetica" size="+3" color="#00006B">
<xsl:apply-templates />
</font>
</legend>
</fieldset>
<xsl:apply-templates />
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:value-of select="name()" />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:for-each select=".">
<xsl:value-of select="name()" />
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
the first template prints out the root node name, which works.but for the second template all i get is the name of the root node again, but just in plain text, so its the second template.
here is my xml file.
<book>
<author age="" id="">
<fisname/>
<lastname/>
</author>
</book>
Please be aware that im trying to write the xslt file to work generically for any xml file.so im not aware of the names of any of the elements, attributes or the presence of attributes for that matter.
Please help, im really stuck!
thank you very much.!
