drderogatory · Feb 17, 2005

i'm a complete noob to xml, and am wondering how i'd display an image beside some specs with xml. here's what i'm trying to work with, am i at least on the right track?

<stocklist>
<box>
<hr>800021</hr>
<die>3000</die>
<length>6</length>
<width>4</width>
<depth>2</depth>
<img src="box.jpg" />
</box>
</stocklist>

this will idealy be displayed within a table beside the specs, go easy on me and thanks in advance

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">[/URL]
<xsl:template match="/">
  <html>
  <body>
    <table>
      <tbody>
        <xsl:for-each select="stocklist/box">
          <tr>
            <td>
              <xsl:copy-of select="img">
            </td>
          </tr>
        </xsl:for-each>
      </tbody>
    </table>
  </body>
  </html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Would be an example of something you could do.
