Ok I am having trouble with this homework assignment. I need to modify the code to sort by the number of pages rather than by chapte number. I get this part but the code I need to modify will not display correctly in my internet browser. All I see is my code and never the image it is meant to display. Here is the code.

.xml code

<?xml version = "1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type = "text/xsl" href = "sorting.xsl"?>

<!-- Fig. 15.20 sorting.xml -->
<!-- XML document containing book information -->
<book isbn = "999-99999-9-X">
   <title>Deitel&apos;s XML Primer</title>

   <author>
      <firstName>Jane</firstName>
      <lastName>Blue</lastName>
   </author> <chapters>
      <frontMatter>
         <preface pages = "2" />
         <contents pages = "5" />
         <illustrations pages = "4" />
      </frontMatter>

      <chapter number = "3" pages = "44">Advanced XML</chapter>
      <chapter number = "2" pages = "35">Intermediate XML</chapter>
      <appendix number = "B" pages = "26">Parsers and Tools</appendix>
      <appendix number = "A" pages = "7">Entities</appendix>
      <chapter number = "1" pages = "28">XML Fundamentals</chapter>
   </chapters>

   <media type = "CD" />
</book>

@ncis_sg1

Even if this is your homework assignment how can you now understand this assignmen.t If you want xml list to display a image then you need to put the link on the xml file in

for example:

<firstName>Jane</firstName>

Let's used that as an example now I add a link:

<image:image>
 <image:loc>http://daniweb.com/image.jpg</image:loc>
</image:image>

now when you upload that xml with the path to that image that link will appear.

when you used xml files it's just data and you can used it as a sitemap.

This is my answer to your question and I am a bit curious what you did to solve your question. It would be nice if you can share how you did it.
