Why am I not getting a value?

[Ian]

(Please excuse the rookie question)

Why don't I get the value of "windows" in my file? My xml file is
located in http://www.otima.ca/XML/auto.xml and the xslt file is
http://www.otima.ca/XML/auto.xslt.

Much appreciate the assistance!

Your www server is sending your xslt resource with a mime type of
text/plain.

Reconfigure your server to send the correct mime type.

Hi Jan,

I have the same issue if I do this on my local HD. What do you
suggest?

Thank you,

Can you explain in detail what you are trying and what fails?
If I load <http://www.otima.ca/XML/auto.xml> with IE 6 it seems it
applies the stylesheet.

Netscape 7.2 clearly displays
"An XSLT stylesheet does not have an XML mimetype"

See the Mozilla XSLT FAQ
<http://www.mozilla.org/projects/xslt/faq.html>
about the content type/MIME type issue.

If you cannot change the server settings for .xslt files then name the
style sheet something.xml, should make Mozilla happy and keep IE happy.

As for the XSLT stylesheet and its output I guess instead of
<xsl:value-of select="/windows"/>
you want
<xsl:value-of select="n:interior/n:windows"/>

Hi Martin,

The exercise I am doing is for an XML class (though I would like to turn
this into a work opportunity) I am trying to convert the xml file into
an xhtml using a table (and css).

Initially all I want is for the Window label and the corresponding xml
element "n:windows" to show up. The Window label shows up, but not the
value of "n:windows" in xml spy/Internet Explorer.

Thank you,

Ian

I have been doing some more work on the issue (still more to test).
There is a mime issue (with Netscape) as you indicated. If you take a
look at http://www.otima.ca/XML/auto2.xml and auto2.xslt you will see I
have made significant progress. (I now am trying to figure out how to
look at the boolean value elements and do one thing if the value is
"false" and another if the value is "true" ..

For the purposes of the class assignment I don't need to solve the mime
issue (doesn't have to be Netscape compatible) but once I have it
completed, I will investigate (and may come back here for help) the
mime issue.

This is a great discussion group!

Cheers,

Ian
