I'm not sure why its not working then I'll have to look. I'm at work right now and here I have 5.5 IE and it doesn't work here but I called home and had it looked at there on IE 6 and it worked fine. So I'm not sure I'll have to take a look at the code a little later and maybe upload the files again and see.

Ok I made a mistake the XML will now work for IE 5 and 5.5 but it will no longer work with 6. Ok so let me explain why when IE 5 and even 5.5 were released XSL wasn't a web standard but was still being drafted it was until IE 6 that it was a standard so in any XSL document there is a Style Sheet Declaration the declaration for IE 5 and 5.5 is different then in IE 6 so the correct declaration has to be there in my examples I was using the IE 6 declaration so it wouldn't show in IE 5 I have changed it to the IE 5 declaration. It shows up here at work for me but I don't have IE 6 but I'm think that it will not show up in IE 6 with the declaration that I have on it. So check it out and let me know.

New XML

This is what I see if I check it out in IE6

As far as I can tell IE 6 can use this declaration but using this declaration will not be allow if I use some of the advanced option Of XSL like sort. BUt on the other hand if I use the correct declaration then IE 5 using can't see XSL. But what you see there is how it should look.

This bit here...

HTML Code:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
  <html>
  <body>
    <h2>Game List</h2>
    <table border="1">
    <tr bgcolor="#9acd32">
      <th align="left">Title</th>
      <th align="left">Developer</th>
    </tr>
    <xsl:for-each select="gamelist/game">
    <tr>
      <td><xsl:value-of select="title"/></td>
      <td><xsl:value-of select="developer"/></td>
    </tr>
    </xsl:for-each>
    </table>
  </body>
  </html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

wouldn't it have to be XHTML compliant?

Meaning, the DOCTYPE DECLARATION for example, shouldn't it be there; or doesn't it matter?

As far as I can tell and I'm still researching this question in full and still myself trying to learn about XSL and XML the document isn't a true XHTML page. I'm look into the question but I may have to revise my article a little when I was learning about XSL and XML I was told that in this example that is an XHTML page but the w3.org say that in fact it isn't compliant with XHTML. But I'm thinking that maybe I was told wrong and that the document is truly a html/xml page. If this is what it turns out to be I will have to edit and correct the first part of the article.
