xml / xsl - what am i doing wrong!?!

**Code Noob** · 09-24-2010 12:07 PM

Ok, I really need help

. I am writing an XML document and an XSL document. I know my xml is correct... but i do not know how to get it going with the xsl part. I am extremely confused and hope maybe someone can point out what I am doing wrong... thank you for reading!

xml code:

<?xml version = "1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="schools.xsl">

<Universities>
<college public = "Montclair State University">
<Established>1908</Established>
<Owner>Public</Owner>
<Location>Montclair, New Jersery</Location>
<OriginalSize>25 Acres</OriginalSize>
<OriginalName>New Jersey State Normal School at Montclair</OriginalName>
<Population>18,171</Population>
<Colleges>5</Colleges>
</college>

<college public = "NJIT">

<Owner>Public</Owner>
<Location>Newark, New Jersey</Location>
<OriginalSize>~ 18 Acres</OriginalSize>
<OriginalName>Newark Technical School</OriginalName>

<Colleges>6</Colleges>
</college>

<college private = "Princeton">

<OriginalSize></OriginalSize>
<OriginalName>New jersey College of Medicine and Dentistry</OriginalName>
<Population>5,764</Population>
<Colleges>8</Colleges>
</college>
</Universities>

xsl code:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl

utput method="html"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<html><head><title>Universities of New Jersey</title></head>
<body>
<h1>Universities of New Jersey</h1>
<table border="1"><tr>
<th>University</th>
<th>Established</th>
<th>Owner</th>
<th>Location</th>
<th>OriginalSize</th>
<th>OriginalName</th>
<th>Population</th>
<th>Colleges</th></tr>


<xsl:for-each select="Colleges/College public">
<tr><td><strong><xsl:value-of select="name[@language='English']"/></strong><br/>(<em><xsl:value-of select="name[@language!='English']"/></em>)</td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="location"/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="height"/></td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>

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

i think im getting much closer but still no luck really. XSL:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl

utput method="html"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<head>
<title>Universities of New Jersey</title>
</head>
<body>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match = "Universities">
<table width="400" border="1" align ="center" >
<tr bgcolor ="598744">
<th>Established</th>
<th>Owner</th>
<th>Location</th>
<th>OriginalSize</th>
<th>OriginalName</th>
<th>Population</th>
<th>Colleges</th>
</tr>
<xsl:for-each select="Universities/college public" >
<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select="Established" /></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="Owner" /></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="Location" /></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="OriginalSize" /></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="OriginalName" /></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="Population" /></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="Colleges" /></td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:for-each select="Universities/college private" >
<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select="Established" /></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="Owner" /></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="Location" /></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="OriginalSize" /></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="OriginalName" /></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="Population" /></td>
