View Full Version : Trouble with my RSS parser XSLT

Some simple XSLT:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:template match="/">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>RSS Feed Parser</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>RSS Feed Parser</h1>
<xsl:for-each match="rss/channel/item">
<h2><xsl:value-of select="title" /></h2>
<p><xsl:value-of select="description" /></p>
</xsl:for-each>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>Gives a cryptic 'Error loading stylesheet: Parsing an XSLT stylesheet failed.' message in Mozilla. No line reference, reason for the error, etc. Just that. It's probably something stupid, but I think my XSLT is all well-formed, and I don't see what's wrong.

Insight?

Oh, and another question, putting a doctype in the XSLT won't get past the parser, and comes up with a badly formed error. Is there a fix for this?

Fixed it. It's select="" with <xsl:for-each>.

Thankyou to those 23 people that viewed my post though :D

I am getting the same error message. Could you look at this sheet and tell me what you changed to fix it. I am a noob to XSL. VERY TIME SENSITIVE, I have to have this fixed TODAY. Thanks, Jamie Coomes in Chicago, IL.

Is the error in the begining of my sheet?

....there is more but can not post everything, too big.

Thanks,
