I know this might be easy for everyone. Im having a hard time finding a simple example of this.

All i want to do is have an xml file of links and then show them in my main html web page, and make them clickable...

Show an example of your XML file.

Are you using HTML or XHTML?

If you want a specific answer you'll need to provide a specific XML example for us to work with. Let me know so I'm not wasting time.

ok,

then the xml would look like this

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="xmltest2.xsl"?>
<link>
<text>Google</text>
<url>http://www.google.com</url>
</link>

Jeremy, thanks, but i was finally able to find an example of this on the net after searching all day....

for anyone that is interested in a working example of this..

here they are..

THE XML: (save as linktest.xml)

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="linktest.xsl"?>
<CODEHELP>
<!--Test file from www.codehelp.co.uk-->
<NAVIGATE>
<FILE>../xml/anyfile.xml</FILE>
<DESC>Change the FILE entry to point to a real file</DESC>
<CLICK>A test link only</CLICK>
</NAVIGATE>
<NAVIGATE>
<FILE>../xml/anyfile2.html</FILE>
<DESC>Add more navigate/file/desc/click tags for more links</DESC>
<CLICK>Adding more links</CLICK>
</NAVIGATE>
</CODEHELP>



THE XSL (save as linktest.xsl)

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl">

<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<HEAD>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/content.css" type="text/css"/>
<title>Test</title>
</HEAD>
<BODY>

<div style="position:absolute;top:20%;left:20%;">
<h1>These links are not all active.</h1>
<h3>Hover over each link to get more information.</h3>
<ul style="line-height:1.7;">
<li><a href="anyfile.xml" title="This could be your home page - added to all XML's">Your home page?</a></li>
<xsl:apply-templates select="CODEHELP/NAVIGATE" />
<h4>These next links are active</h4>
<li><a href="../links/index.html" title="Link to html, xml, shtml, use relative as well as absolute links">Links</a></li>
<li>Return to the <a href="../index.html" title="Home page">CodeHelp home page</a> here.</li>
<li>Go back to the <a href="seventh.xml" title="test files page">previous file</a> here.</li>
</ul>
</div>

</BODY>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="CODEHELP/NAVIGATE">
<li>
<a>
<xsl:attribute name="href">
<xsl:value-of select="FILE"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="title">
<xsl:value-of select="DESC"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select="CLICK"/>
</a>
</li>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>


put them in the same directory on a hosted server and just run the linktest.xml

the links dont actually go anywhere but the syntax works.

External XML Files
What about External XML Files where you cannot specify the the style sheet in the XML File?
