XML/XSL Question

Hey folks,
I have the following simple xml document called myxml.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="test.xsl"?>
<RegionInfo>
<Region>
<RegionName>Northeast</RegionName>
<Area>
<AreaID>AR000</AreaID>
</Area>
</Region>
<Region><RegionName>EastCentral</RegionName>
<Area>
<AreaID>AR120</AreaID>
</Area>
</Region>
</RegionInfo>

test.xsl looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<h2>Region Info</h2>
<table border="1">
<tr bgcolor="#9acd32">
<th>Region</th>
</tr>
<xsl:for-each select="RegionInfo/Region">
<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select="RegionName"/></td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Now, when I open the XML file in a browser, I should be getting the two region names as rows of a table. But, I only get the table heading and not the region names. When I try this on my co-workers' machine, it works fine. I am running I.E 6.0 and I have MSXML4.0 SP2 Parser and SDK installed on my machine. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,

I could see nothing wrong with your files. I tested them on my own computer, and they worked fine. I got a nice little table with a green header row and two cells with region names.

I am running Explorer 5.0 and MSXML.

I have also downloaded the MSXML-validation tools which allow you to see the xsl-output passed to the browser. I find that very useful when testing for errors. This is the output from your files - and as far as I can see, it is a neat little table. It could of course have something to do with explorer 6, but I can't imagine what it would have against this code:

output:

<html>
<body>
<h2>Region Info</h2>
<table border="1">
<tr bgcolor="#9acd32">
<th>Region</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Northeast</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>EastCentral</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
