I’m trying to use a .xsl file so that it will return a HTML

  • 0

I’m trying to use a .xsl file so that it will return a HTML table of the XML document. I have no experience with this and it is something I’ve not done before so it’s probably this is just a simple mistake.

I have the following code for my podcatalog.xsl

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

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

<xsl:template match="/">
  <html>
  <body>
  <h2>Pods Papers</h2>
  <table border="1">
    <tr bgcolor="#9ACD32">
      <th>Author</th>
      <th>Title</th>
      <th>Pages</th>
      <th>Year</th>
    </tr>
    <xsl:for-each select="pods-papers/inproceedings">
    <tr>
      <td><xsl:value-of select="author"/></td>
      <td><xsl:value-of select="title"/></td>
      <td><xsl:value-of select="pages"/></td>
      <td><xsl:value-of select="year"/></td>
    </tr>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </table>
  </body>
  </html>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

And the podcatalog.xml can be found here

The error I am getting is: “Error loading stylesheet: Parsing an XSLT stylesheet failed.”

    Change: 

    <xsl:for-each select="pods-papers/inproceedings key">

    to:

    <xsl:for-each select="pods-papers/inproceedings">

    ‘key’ is an attribute of element
