Problem/Help - XSL - Stylesheet - Invalid?

Today | Me

[dila813]

I have this style sheet out of my text book, I put it in the browser with the xml file identically to what is described in the book. Yet it doesn't work. Anyone spot what is wrong?

The error message is that this is not a style sheet and that line number 2 is wrong. I can't see how, and it matches the book.

Title	Genre	Year

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Well you didn't post a style sheet for us to look at. You posted an HTML table. The second row in that table is wrong as it contains only a single pair of TD tags. There should be three since the first and third rows have three, or else the single TD tag must include the qualifier COLSPAN=3.

There are three td columns there

but your hint that there is html gives me some ideas to check. There is something wrong with this line "", I get the error message on this line.

This is what shows up in source:

<table bgcolor="white" border="2">
<tr>
<th>Title</th>
<th>Genre</th>
<th>Year</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
</td>>
<td>
</td>
<td>
</td>
</tr>
</table><br clear="all" />

There is only one cell in the second row. You either have to add 2 more cells or COLSPAN=3

Which application did you use to create the style steet file?

Besides the table problem, I’d imagine that they left out the code to invoke the style sheet, since there are several you can chose from. Try looking at the code from one that you know works.

I found the answer, apparently the book I have uses an outdated version of xsl that my editor doesn’t support.

And firefox doesn’t support it either.

Thanks everyone.

When I post it to freerepublic, it strips it out, but it is there.

don’t know how to keep freerepublic from trying to ready the code.

Sorry, I only do C/C++.

while (true)
   printf("This is an xsl stylesheet sucka!\n");
