I am trying to create a stylesheet for an xml file. I have never done this before, so, I reduced the xml file down to one field to see if I could write the stylesheet. I am encountering one error message on the import and cannot figure out what it is. Can anyone help me? Thanks.

Well, you generally only get 1 error message, but unfortunately there were several smallish errors.

1. In the stylesheet tag, you should use the proper namespace URL for xsl.

2. You forgot the element (pretty important -)

3. The template match should likely be on the root "/", yours was on "csxmlfeed", which may be a file name, but has little to do with this.

4. While were on the subject of file names, you forgot the period before "xslt"

5. You can't just say:

because it doesn't take into account the root element,

works

Or you could use "/newsclip" as the template match (it would be in #3 above). But I tend to just use "/", and add the root element later.

6. You can get the value of the via just:

Because you've specified as the element which determines the FileMaker s (records), and you're already in the node at this point.

7. You had "xls:for-each", it should be "xsl:for-each" (xls is an Excel extension :-)
