Can't get my XSL Stylesheet working..

[Jonathan (14)]

At the moment I have 3 files: a small XML instance document, a schema (which the .xml validates against fine) and a work-in-progress .xsl. (posted below) The problem is that I cannot get the stylesheet to grab any data from the XML document so I just end up with an empty HTML file. However, if I change the XML file to look at an equivalent DTD (instead of the XSD) it works as it should. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have posted a sample of my code below.

Thanks in advance.
