    I need something Impressive in XSL for a XML file that I have to do for a presentation for work

    Here is what I have so far.

    the xml file
    the xsl file

    take a look at the xsl file any ideas on something I could do with it using xsl that would be cool?

    here is the XSL


    <?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>
    <body>
    <h2>MY CD's</h2>
    <table border="1">
    <tr bgcolor="#c0c0c0">
    <th align="center">Title</th>
    <th align="center">Artist</th>
    <th align="left">Country</th>
    <th align="left">Company</th>
    <th align="left">Price</th>
    <th align="left">Year</th>
    </tr>
    <xsl:for-each select="catalog/cd">
    <xsl:sort select="artist"/>
    <tr>
    <td><xsl:value-of select="title"/></td>
    <td><xsl:value-of select="artist"/></td>
    <td><xsl:value-of select="country"/></td>
    <td><xsl:value-of select="company"/></td>
    <td><xsl:value-of select="year"/></td>
    <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="price &gt; 15">
    <td bgcolor="#FFFF00">
    <xsl:value-of select="price"/></td>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:eek:therwise>
    <td><xsl:value-of select="price"/></td>
    </xsl:eek:therwise>
    </xsl:choose>

    </tr>
    </xsl:for-each>
    </table>

    Ok well since I did not have time to wade through all of the replies that I received I decided to do an XSL statement using the if, then else statements and choose when other wise statements.....

    This is the only post I can find that deals with xsl. I'm trying to learn it using Dreamweaver 8. I have created a page that works great when I hit F12 in Dreamweaver. But when I upload it to the site, it doesn't work. See: http://www.paross.com/index.xsl

    What's wrong with it?

    On a similar note, I was hoping to use it as my defaul page (index.htm), but it doesn't render with the .htm extension and won't default with the .xsl extension. So, how do I get xsl to work on the default page?
