RE: XSQL & XSL - translation difficulties (newbie problem)


Try this xsl!! Works for me...
And in case if u have more than one queries in your XSQL file, then better
set your rowset-element and row-element tags in your each query and
correspondingly apply templates for each such match.
I hope this method is fine as even I am a newbie.

<?xml version="1.0" ?>

version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="html"/>

  <xsl:template match="/">  
 <html>
    <head>
       <title>Query Results:</title>
    </head>
    <body>
       <table border="1" cellspacing="0">
          <tr>
             <th>Last Name</th>
             <th>First Name</th>
             <th>Security Clearance ID</th>
          </tr>

	<xsl:apply-templates/>

       </table>
    </body>
 </html>
  </xsl:template>  

  <xsl:template match="ROWSET/ROW">
             <tr>
                <td><xsl:value-of select="Last Name"/></td>
                <td><xsl:value-of select="First Name"/></td>
                <td><xsl:value-of select="Security Clearance ID"/></td>
             </tr>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Alex --

I just tried the XML (not the XSQL) and the stylesheet and the resulting
output works fine with Xalan.  If you're getting the table heading but
not the rows, there must be a problem with the select in the for-each. 
Can you verify that the XML results from the xsql file actually match
the XML that you think it does?
