HTML output from XLS file and XML feed
I have a XML feed from a mediaservice, which I would like to show nicely on our web-page. I also have a standard XLS file from the mediaservice, but I'm not that into XLS etc to know exactly how to load the feed along with the stylesheet, and get it shown nicely.
I have full access to change everything in the XLS or greate HTML files, but I dont have access to change the XML feed.
The XML feed is retreived from this location: http://meltwaternews.com/magenta/xml/html/20/49/rss/152509_hitsentence.rss2.XML
The style is shown below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="html" encoding="iso-8859-1"/>
<xsl:template match="/feeds">
<html>
<head>
<style>
body { color: #000000; background-color: #ffffff; }
H2 {font-size: 13pt; font-family: Arial;}

Thanks - but the problem is, that I can not edit the XML, only the XSL. The XML document is a standard feed from a media service.
I hope it makes sense :-)

In that case I don't think it's possible to apply a stylesheet to the xml feed.
XML isn't used to display content anyway, it's used to create a feed.
What I would suggest is creating a simple php page that reads your feed and outputs html/CSS.
After all, that's how you're supposed to work. :)
You can use simpleXML to do this, preety straightforward:
just read in the xml file, and display the info ( childnodes ) you want.
