I'm trying to link the XML page to an HTML page using a data island. Unfortunately, after I created the HTML page and inserted the XML data island when I went into my browser to look at it, the HTML page turned up blank. I'm obviously missing a step or something. Both the XML and HTML pages exist in the same directory on my hard drive so, theoretically, using books.xml instead of a full link should have worked.
Here's the code for the HTML page: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http:// www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Books</title> </head> <body> <XML ID="dsoBooks" SRC="Books.xml"></XML> </body> </html> What am I doing wrong here? I really appreciate the time you've taken to help me with this. I've got a couple books and I'm learning slowly...very slowly.
