displaying specific xml data

[Beething]

Hi,
I'm having trouble displaying a select bit of data from my xml in html.

the xml is a load of galleries, each containing paintings:

<galleries>
<gallery name="greydisplay">
<painting>
<photo>/paintings/kitchen.jpg</photo>
<title>Table Under Window</title>
<year>2002</year>
<media>Acrylic on canvas board</media>
<dimensions>10" x 14"</dimensions>
<price>&#163;90</price>
</painting>
...
</gallery>
...
</galleries>

The xslt is intended to just display the images from one of the galleries:
------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="

http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"

version="1.0">

<xsl:template match="//gallery[@name='greydisplay']">
<xsl:for-each select="painting">
<div class="painting" >
<a href="#"><img src="{photo}" /></a>
</div>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
-------------------------------------------------------

The results works well, except that straight after the images I get a load more of the xml, in raw form:

../paintings/kitchen.jpgRed Room2003Acrylic on canvas board12" x 16"£140../paintings/kitchen.jpgKitchen Scene2004Acrylic on canvas board16" x 12"£140../paintings/kitchen.jpgPlant on Chair2003Acrylic on canvas board12" x 16"£140../paintings/kitchen.jpgRed Interior2002Acrylic on canvas board14" x 10"£90../paintings/kitchen.jpgBlue Interior2002Acrylic on paper9" x 11"£40../paintings/kitchen.jpgRooftops in Prague2001Oil on canvas board14" x 18"sold../paintings/kitchen.jpgGreen Courtyard2000Oil on canvas board14" x 18"sold../paintings/kitchen.jpgGreen House2002Acrylic on stretched canvas18" x 14"£100../paintings/kitchen.jpgPalazzo2005Oil on stretched canvas18" x 14"£160

Not sure why this is displaying. Any ideas?

You havent told the XSL what to do with those nodes, so it will use the default template. Try:

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"[/URL] version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="galleries/gallery[@name='greydisplay']"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="gallery">
  <xsl:for-each select="painting">
      <div class="painting" >
        <a href="#"><img src="{photo}" /></a>
      </div>
  </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Avoid use of "//". Very lazy and very inefficient.

Thanks Jon,

That worked a treat.
I was wondering whether you (or anyone) knew if it's possible to pass in a variable to the xsl (from ASP)?. What I'd like is the name of the gallery (in the above case = 'greydisplay') to be dynamic.

XSL:

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"[/URL] version="1.0">
<xsl:param name="name"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="galleries/gallery[@name=$name]"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="gallery">
  <xsl:for-each select="painting">
      <div class="painting" >
        <a href="#"><img src="{photo}" /></a>
      </div>
  </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

ASP:

<%@LANGUAGE="VBScript"%>
<%
set xmlDoc = Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument")
xmlDoc.async = false
xmlDoc.load(Server.MapPath("myxml.xml"))

set xslDoc = Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument")
xslDoc.async = false
xslDoc.load(Server.MapPath("myxsl.xsl"))

set xslt = Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.XSLTemplate") 
xslt.stylesheet = xslDoc
set xslProc = xslt.createProcessor()
xslProc.input = xmlDoc
xslProc.addParameter("name", "some gallery")
xslProc.transform()
%>

I'm having trouble getting this to work. I get the error:

msxml3.dll (0x80004005)
The stylesheet does not contain a document element. The stylesheet may be empty, or it may not be a well-formed XML document.

and it points to the line:
xslt.stylesheet = xslDoc

Confusing because the xsl stylesheet is definately there and seems ok.
