how on earth do i for a text box and populate the value from an XML doc using XSL. i have tried with the following XSL...

Code:

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl=&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl&quot;>[/URL] 
<xsl:template> 
<xsl:element name=&quot;STOCKFILE&quot;/> 
<xsl:for-each select=&quot;STOCKFILE&quot;> <html> <head> 
<title>StockDetail01(XSL 02)</title></head>
<body>

.
.
.

Code:

<xsl:for-each select=&quot;STOCK&quot;>
  <xsl:element name=&quot;input&quot;>
    <xsl:attribute name=&quot;type&quot;>
      text
    </xsl:attribute>
      <xsl:attribute name=&quot;value&quot;>
        <xsl:value-of select=&quot;ST01-DESCR&quot;/>
      </xsl:attribute>
  </xsl:element>
</xsl:for-each>

FYI sussed it!

Code:

    <xsl:attribute name=&quot;type&quot;>
      text
    </xsl:attribute>

should read...

Code:

    <xsl:attribute name=&quot;type:text&quot;>
    </xsl:attribute>

but any examples showing XML data being placed into a HTML form and (presumably) allowing the [tt]Submit[/tt] button to send the contexts back off somewhere would be most greatfully appreciated.
