Hello...I've been trying to figure out this problem for most of the week - it's my second attempt at any XML and my first at XSLT so I haven't got a complete grasp of what I'm doing yet. Any help will be muchly appreciated.
The problem is, the code below validates and works in IE7 (obviously with their pre-set stylesheet). In IE6 the text describing the feed from the XSL file displays, but none of the actual news items between the
<entry> tags of the XML file do i.e. the whole point of having the feed!
There is a way it DOES work in IE6 and Firefox 1.5, but doesn't work in IE7 (I'll explain below the code).
news-test.asp (generated with ASP and with company info removed):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="news-feed.xsl"?>
<feed xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">

This page is for the <a href="http://www.--.co.uk">www.--.co.uk</a> News syndication feed. Feeds allow you to stay up to date with the latest news and features by adding the feed address to a news aggregator program, or to your own website.
<br /><br />There are various ways to subscribe, including:
<ul><li>Dragging the orange feed button (<a href="news-feed.asp"><img src="feed/feed.gif" border="0" width="16" height="16" hspace="1" style="vertical-align: middle;" /></a>) or URL of the feed into your News Reader software</li>
<li>Cutting and pasting the URL of the feed into your News Reader</li>
</ul>
The latest content for this feed can be viewed below.
</div>
<xsl:for-each select="feed/entry">
<div style="color:#000000; padding: 0.3em;">
<h3 style="font-size: 1em; padding: 0em; margin: 0em;">
<a><xsl:attribute name="href"><xsl:value-of select="link/@href"/></xsl:attribute><xsl:value-of select="title" disable-output-escaping="yes"/></a>

</xsl:for-each>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
It works in IE6 and Firefox but DOESN'T display in IE7 ("
internet explorer does not support this feed format") if I change the namespace declaration from
<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
to
<feed xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
or infact if I add any bit of random text like
:aaaaaaaargh there
Thanks for looking.
