Hi Pros,
just starting xml. I'm stuck in one of my first simple codes. I need to use two xsl:for-each one within the other. I think it should work although it's not valid. I can't see why it would not show the 'theme's value! It generates the tables but leaves them empty. Are there any restrictions or rules to meet concerning two xsl:for-each?
Here are the codes:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"math1.xsl" type="text/xsl"?>
<library>
<book>
<theme>A</theme>
<theme>B</theme>
<theme>C</theme>
</book>
<book>
<theme>D</theme>
<theme>F</theme>
</book>
</library>
