XSL Sort

[erin]

Hi,

I am programming a DB in Access and looking to display my data with the XSL stylesheet.I am unable to display the contents of the DB, and I strongly suspect this to be a problem with thexsl stylesheet, since my xml island is coming out well without any problem. The first sort function sorts the attributes according to the tag "attrno" (which represents the display order ) to form the table headers.

The second and third sort functions are intended to use multiple sort.
I have enclosed the xsl stylesheet, could sombody pleeeease help?

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<table border="1">
<TR bgcolor="beige" onMouseOver="this.bgColor='papayawhip';" onMouseOut="this.bgColor='beige';">
<tr>
<xsl:for-each select="root/header/headerinfo"> <!-- 1st tree-->
<xsl:sort select="attrno"/>
<td><xsl:value-of select="attribute"/></td>
</xsl:for-each>
</tr>
</TR>

<TR>
<xsl:for-each select="root/row/attributes"> <!--2nd tree-->
<xsl:sort select="PCB"/>
<xsl:sort select="attrno"/>
<td><xsl:value-of select="Value"/></td><!-- after sorting acc. to PCB and then acc to attrno, display the contents-->
</xsl:for-each>
</TR>

</table>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

I can't really see any problem with the xslt, but then again I don't have any of your xml so I can't test it.
It could be a problem with xslt processing engine. But of course this is easily tested, using a simple stylesheet.

Xml island ?, never heard of that. Comming out where ?, using what tools ?, displayed how ?
