Bad XML

Apr 10th, 2009

Cannot figure out what is wrong with this stylesheet - attach it to any xml, it doesn't actually use the xml in this stripped down example:

 RSS, Web Services and SOAP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1'?>
<xsl:stylesheet version='1.0' xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform'>
	<xsl:output method='html' indent='yes' media-type='text/html' />
 
	<xsl:variable name='columns' select='10' />
 
	<xsl:template match='/'>
		<table>
			<tr>
				<td>
					<xsl:attribute name='colspan'><xsl:value-of select='floor( $columns / 3 )' /></xsl:attribute>
					column 1
				</td>
				<td>
					<xsl:attribute name='colspan'><xsl:value-of select='ceiling( $columns / 3 )' /></xsl:attribute>
					column 2
				</td>
				<td>
					<xsl:attribute name='colspan'><xsl:value-of select='floor( $columns / 3 )' /></xsl:attribute>
					column 3
				</td>
			</tr>
		</table>
	</xsl:template>
 
</xsl:stylesheet>
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1'?>
<xsl:stylesheet version='1.0' xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform'>
	<xsl:output method='html' indent='yes' media-type='text/html' />

	<xsl:variable name='columns' select='10' />

	<xsl:template match='/'>
		<table>
			<tr>
				<td>
					<xsl:attribute name='colspan'><xsl:value-of select='floor( $columns / 3 )' /></xsl:attribute>
					column 1
				</td>
				<td>
					<xsl:attribute name='colspan'><xsl:value-of select='ceiling( $columns / 3 )' /></xsl:attribute>
					column 2
				</td>
				<td>
					<xsl:attribute name='colspan'><xsl:value-of select='floor( $columns / 3 )' /></xsl:attribute>
					column 3
				</td>
			</tr>
		</table>
	</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Firefox keeps telling me
Error loading stylesheet: XPath parse failure: Name or Nodetype test expected: (yeah it stops there)
the error reporting tool tells me it's apparently having an issue with the closing attribute tag...
