Yeah, I'm sorry. I really am, I hate asking questions like this, but alas, it must be done.

I want to create a file with the extention .xml and then in an XHTML document to display the data stored there. How the hell do I do this?

This should be a hella simple answer. Sorry for wasting your time.

for example if you have this xml files contain :

Code:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> 
 
- <CATALOG>
- <CD>
 <TITLE>Empire Burlesque</TITLE> 

 <ARTIST>Bob Dylan</ARTIST> 

 <COUNTRY>USA</COUNTRY> 

 <COMPANY>Columbia</COMPANY> 

 <PRICE>10.90</PRICE> 

 <YEAR>1985</YEAR> 

 </CD>


- <CD>
 <TITLE>Hide your heart</TITLE> 

 <ARTIST>Bonnie Tyler</ARTIST> 

 <COUNTRY>UK</COUNTRY> 

 <COMPANY>CBS Records</COMPANY> 

 <PRICE>9.90</PRICE> 

 <YEAR>1988</YEAR> 

 </CD>
</CATALOG>

and want to display the data into html file :

Code:

  <html><body><xml id="cdcat" src="cd_catalog.xml"></xml><table border="1" datasrc="#cdcat"><tr><td><span datafld="ARTIST"></span></td><td><span datafld="TITLE"></span></td></tr></table></body></html>

Hope this helps
