You may want to start by laying out the html first so that you know what your
end result should look like. Take a look at the file that your xsl is
outputting, not rendered by a browser, and I think you will see what is
happening more clearly.
Your template is matching the <slide> element. You have two slide elements in
the slideshow, so you are getting two full copies of the html from your
template. You probably want to start your match closer to the root
Here is a start for the xsl...
<xsl:template match="/slideshow">
<table>
<tr><th>data1</th><th>data2</th></tr>
<xsl:for-each select="slide">
<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select="data1"/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="data2"/></td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
<xsl:template>
Hope this helps,
Josh

Subject: [xsl] Converting xml data to html using xsl/xslt
Hi,
I have to convert a xml file into html. The data in xml has to be represented
as tables. I have to write a xsl stylesheet and use xslt for the
tranformation.
My xml file looks like this.
<slideshow>
<slide>
<data1> xx1 </data1>
<data2> xx2 </data2>
</slide>
<slide>
<data1> yy1 </data1>
<data2> yy2 </data2>
</slide>
</slideshow>
My existing xsl looks like this
<xsl:template match="slide">
<html>
<title> SOAP AND XML</title>
<style type="text/css">
code {color: #808080;}
</style>
<body>
<table border="1">
<xsl:for-each select="*">
<tr>
<th><xsl:value-of
select="name()"/></th>
<td><xsl:apply-templates
select="." mode="value"/></td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
I am getting data in seperate tables instead of in seperate rows.
The data should be in a html table with data1 and data2 as headers and xx1,xx2
in the first row and yy1 and yy2 in the second row.
I am not able to write a xsl to get this.
Can someone please help me write one.
Thanks,
Anna.
