[RESOLVED] XML - getting a child to use a for-each loop

**Shodan** · Nov 26th, 2007, 11:29 PM

I have Hamlet in XML. I'm to write a stylesheet. I'm stuck on the <persona> tag. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The "apply-template" doesn't seem to iterate through the <persona> tag and I can't get the for-each loop to work.

Code:

<XML>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="hamlet.xsl"?>


<PLAY>
<TITLE>The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark</TITLE>

<FM>

</FM>


<PERSONAE>
<TITLE>Dramatis Personae</TITLE>

<PERSONA>CLAUDIUS, king of Denmark. </PERSONA>
<PERSONA>HAMLET, son to the late, and nephew to the present king.</PERSONA>
<PERSONA>POLONIUS, lord chamberlain. </PERSONA>
<PERSONA>HORATIO, friend to Hamlet.</PERSONA>
<PERSONA>LAERTES, son to Polonius.</PERSONA>
<PERSONA>LUCIANUS, nephew to the king.</PERSONA>

What I have so far:

Code:

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

<xsl:template match="/">
    <html>
    <head><title><xsl:value-of select="PLAY/TITLE"/></title></head>
    <body>
    	<xsl:apply-templates select="PLAY"/>
    </body>
    </html>  
</xsl:template>
	
<xsl:template match="PLAY">
	<xsl:value-of select="FM" /><br /><br />
	<xsl:value-of select="PERSONAE/TITLE" /><br />
	<xsl:value-of select="PERSONAE/PERSONA"/>

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