Hi David,
Many thanks for your help, that makes much more sense now.
The parser still throws up the following error:
"The element type "xsl:template" must be terminated by the matching
end tag </xsl:template>" at the following position
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="html"/>
<xsl:template match="LOG">
<xsl:apply-templates select="DIRECT"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="DIRECT">
<xsl:apply-templates select="CHARACTER_ID"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match ="CHARACTER_ID">
<xsl:if test=".=44639"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="../LOCATION_ID"/>
</xsl:if> *here*
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="LOCATION_ID">
<html>
<body>
<h1>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</h1>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Its as if it can't see the </xsl:template> tag underneath.
Am I missing something blatant! Probably!!
Cheers again
Ahmad
