Good evening all

I know this might appear to be a real nooB question/issue, but alas i am a nooB concerning xml/xsl etc etc.

I have created an xsl file, contents shown bellow, when i insert a simple script to take the user to the First/previous/next/last node in the xml file and display in a browser i recieve the follow error:

A name contained an invalid character. Error processing resource 'file:///C:/Users/Phil/Desktop/NIKS_XML_Assignment/NS/cour...

if(x.absoluteposition<x.recordcount){x.movenext();}
-------------------------------------^

The code looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

}

x.moveprevious();
}
}

x.movelast();
}

</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

I do have other problems (i.e. understanding how XML SCHEMA works in conjunction with xsl) but will research this further before asking any question.

Any help is greatly appreciated

It would appear the edit is disabled so i have a little correction to make, the arrow should be pointing to the ending bracket (not brace).. like this ...

if(x.absoluteposition<x.recordcount){x.movenext();}
