XML to HTML using xsl

Hi,
   I am new to Xml and Xsl. I want to show the XML file below in tabular
format in HTML using xsl.

The xml file is :
  <?xml version="1.0" ?> 
  <objectId.OPER.A001>
  <Marks>
  <Mark>2</Mark> 
  <Sin>0.9092974268256817</Sin> 
 <Mark>2</Mark> 
  <Sin>0.774562456456826</Sin> 
   </Marks>
  </objectId.OPER.A001>
 
Mark and Sin should be the column heading of the table.

Can anyone help me out.

Try these templates in your stylesheet:

<xsl:template match="objectId.OPER.A001">
    <html>
        <body>
            <xsl:apply-templates/>
        </body>
    </html>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="Marks">
    <table>
        <tr><th>Mark></th><th>Sin></th></tr>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="Mark"/>
    </table>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="Mark">
    <tr>
        <td><xsl:value-of select="."/></td>
        <td><xsl:value-of select="following-sibling::Sin"/>/td>
</xsl:template>

For your example this should result in:

<table>
    <th><td>Mark</td><td>Sin</td></th>
    <tr><td>2</td><td>0.9092974268256817</td></tr>
    <tr><td>2</td><td>0.774562456456826</td></tr>
</table>

Was this your intention.

You may want to have a look at some XSL tutorials (If you didn't already.):

at W3C: http://www.w3.org/Style/XSL/#learning
at XML.com: http://www.xml.com/pub/Guide/Tutorials (not only XSL).

Have fun,
Conny

And the definition of this XML is already fixed?
Because it doesn't seem very well structured or suited for the data you are
trying to capture.
I do think that it is going to take a very convoluted XSLT stylesheet to do
wat you want (probably not impossible, just "ugly")
But then again I'm no expert :-)
