In part 1 of my XML Video Tutorial, I covered the basics of creating an XML file in Eclipse. In this tutorial, I teach you how to use eXtensible Style Language (XSL).
I can’t even briefly cover everything in this tutorial. Suffice to say, I show you how to do just about anything you’d ever want to do with XSL. At least I covered everything I could fit in a 15 minute video.
Use the code below to help you better understand XSL.

Thanks for sharing 🙂 this tutorial
You’re very welcome. I’ll be bouncing around through different topics to keep it interesting
It is a very big big big thank you in the world for sharing your knowledge with all of us. Wish you all the best in whatever you do.
You are very welcome. I’m just happy that people get something out of my little hobby. I’ll continue to do my best
Thanks for your videos, they are really cool!
I tried to run this example by copy/pasting your code. Strange thing is the .xml page gets properly rendered in Firefox, but in none of Safari, Chrome or the internal Eclipse editor on my machine. Do you have any idea why this would happen?
Yes, Chrome and other browsers don’t allow you to load local XML files. If you put them on a server on the internet they will work for you though
Some browsers don’t properly render local files. They will work if you upload the files to a server on the web though. Of course the way I demonstrate and Firefox work for development locally. I hope that makes sense
Thanks for your quick reply Derek, I imagined that Chrome wouldn’t allow this for security reasons, I more surprised that for me, it works for Firefox and not with Eclipse’s built-in browser as it does for you.
Yes, it is pretty strange. I’m sure there is some security reason for the browsers to work that way.
Hi Darek, In this video you added xsl file in eclipse, but when i am trying to add there is no xsl file in my eclipse, can you tell me why?
i am using eclipse juno, and it has xml perspective.
it only has xml file, dtd file and xml schema file.
If you click on preferences in Eclipse do you see XML at the bottom of the list on the left?
Yes, i can see.
I think I solved your problem. Download this plugin http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/index.php
yes dude you solved it.
you are rocking.
😛
Great! I’m glad it worked
Darek i have a question, yesterday i was thinking to do some project to get some experience, than i thought i should contribute in some open source projects, like: jenkins and all.
need your suggestions and help and sources for how to get starte?
Thank you
I’ve only worked to help one open source project directly and that was WordPress. Many years ago (before I made my website) I made a bunch of themes and plugins for WordPress. I personally didn’t enjoy the experience. I made many themes with completely different layouts. I also made a ton of plugins that solved many simple issues as well as a auto posting plugin.
If you want to receive hateful emails everyday while working for free, developing free wordpress plugins is the way to go. Most users don’t read the guides you make. So, if you require them to do anything they will complain. Maybe other people have had different experiences and I’d love to hear some positive stories, but mine wasn’t very much fun.
Just my 2 cents 🙂
Derek
well, so far my aim is to get experience and add many entries to my resume 😉 to get a good job.
and would like to get this experience also.
can you please tell me how to get started, i mean i need to create one account on github and need to configure that and need to import the code into eclipse, isn’t it?
but not sure how to do that?
You’ll have to contact someone on the project by email. Tell them you’d like to contribute and they will then fit you into the position that would be best for you. These groups work in collaboration and communicate often on the common goals of the project. They’ll be happy to welcome you in in most situations
ohk.
Thanks 🙂
Can you help me to have a space
Thanks I got my answer in the next tutorial, you covered a lot of thing in less time ,great!!
Thanks,I got my answer in the next tutorial. You covered a lot of thing in less time!!!:)
You’re very welcome 🙂 I do my best to cover everything
Thanks for the tutorials. One bit of feedback I would give, is the attribute name choices.
As you have used ‘name’ for the title, when you create your links it might not be overly clear what you can and cannot change. For example if someone was using ‘title’, they would use “href=”#{generate-id(title)}”>” to generate the link, but then the link would be ““.
Someone might think you change all instances of name, but name is actually required there, so if you were using title it would not be “” just because you have “”
That might sound daft but hey, thanks again.
Thank you for the input 🙂
Hi sir, thanks for the tutorial. I use eclipse helios… xml, xml dtd and xml schema in it but xslt aint in it…what eclipse ide do you use
I’m using Eclipse Indigo. You probably need the Eclipse Web Tools
Hello sir, i have a problem running this example. Am using Eclipse Kepler version. When i tried to open the .xml in web browser am getting “Life on Mars 2008 2009 ABC 7.82 Life on Mars 2006 2007 BBC 6.8 Freeks and Geeks 1999 2000 ABC 6.7 ” only this as output. What you think may be the problem. Please help me fix this problem sir.
It just printing the node data when i tried to open the .xml in web browser with out applying xsl
I’m not sure if you got this fixed or not, but here is information from another source that may help W3Schools.
Did you install the Eclipse WebTools plugin?
Thank you Derek … I was able to fix it…
Thank you Derek… Am able to fix it.. Yeah am missing Web Tools plugin…
After that day i started working on JDBC, Hibernate and Struts and got busy…Thank you
Great I’m glad you are learning a lot 🙂
