XML output on XSL with table

I would like to have my stylesheet use an XML output and if possible use it with a table. I seem to only get this to work with a HTML output not a XML output. I am fairly new at XML so any examples of how to do this or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

Here is my XML code

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><?xml-stylesheet href="Lesson_8_obj_1.xsl" type="text/xsl"?><!DOCTYPE Employees><Employees xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/20...Schema-instance"xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="xsd.xsd">> <Employee> <First>John</First> <Last>Smith</Last> <Phone Type="Home">1-800-123-4567</Phone> <Birthday>1960-05-25</Birthday> <HourlyRate>35.85</HourlyRate></Employee> <Employee> <First>Jane</First> <Last>Jones</Last> <Phone Type="Cell">1-800-999-9999</Phone> <Birthday>1980-11-01</Birthday> <HourlyRate>58.17</HourlyRate></Employee></Employees>

 

Here is my XSL code.

 

 

<?xml version="1.0" ?><xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"><xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>

<xsl:template match="/"><table> <tr> <th>First</th> <th>Last</th> <th>Phone</th> <th>Birthday</th> <th>HourlyRate</th> </tr><xsl:for-each select="Employees/Employee"> <tr> <td><xsl:value-of select="First"/></td> <td><xsl:value-of select="Last"/></td> <td><xsl:value-of select="Phone"/></td> <td><xsl:value-of select="Birthday"/></td> <td><xsl:value-of select="HourlyRate"/></td></tr></xsl:for-each> </table> </xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet>

<table> is an HTML thing. You can't write an XML file with a <table> element and expect it to render a table visually because in XML, <table> doesn't have any special meaning, it's just an element named "table".

Thank you for the quick reply and information. Now that I know this I am playing with it and I can get output xml and text to work but it comes out as one line.

 

> John Smith 1-800-123-4567 1960-05-25 35.85 Jane Jones 1-800-999-9999 1980-11-01 58.17

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"><xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/><xsl:template match="/Employee"> <Employee> <FirstName><xsl:value-of select="First" /></FirstName> <LastName><xsl:value-of select="Last" /></LastName> <Phone><xsl:value-of select="Phone" /></Phone> <Birthday><xsl:value-of select="Birthday" /></Birthday> <HourlyRate><xsl:value-of select="HourlyRate" /></HourlyRate> </Employee></xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet>

 

With an output method being XML can you have each Employee be a separate line without using HTML table?

 

Thank you

Don
