The asp finally loaded and came back with:

The system cannot locate the resource specified. Error processing
resource 'http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd'.

Which i guess is meaning the line at the top of the xhtml file. Maybe
it can't read taht properly.

Dpoes it work when you set
xml.resolveExternals = False
before the load call?

Now it comes back with: The element 'html' is used but not declared in
the DTD/Schema.

Add
xml.validateOnParse = False
before the load call.

I've got the code like this now, and it just procudes a blank page:

<%
'Load XML
set xml = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
xml.async = false
xml.validateOnParse = false
xml.resolveExternals = false
xml.load(Server.MapPath("/iraq/index.shtml"))

If xml.parseError.errorCode <> 0 Then
Response.Write xml.parseError.reason
End If

'Load XSL
set xsl = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
xsl.async = false
xsl.load(Server.MapPath("/includes/topstyle.xsl"))

'Transform file
Response.Write(xml.transformNode(xsl))
%>

Well I would first debug the stylesheet in an XML editor to ensure it
produces the output you want before running it in ASP.
If you need help with the stylesheet then you need to share the XML
input and the XSLT stylesheet.

The asp file is making the correct coding apart from the foreach
stuff.

So at the moment i have this for the ASP:

<%
'Load XML
set xml = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
xml.async = false
xml.validateOnParse = false
xml.resolveExternals = false
xml.load(Server.MapPath("/iraq/test.shtml"))

If xml.parseError.errorCode <> 0 Then
Response.Write xml.parseError.reason
End If

'Load XSL
set xsl = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
xsl.async = false
xsl.load(Server.MapPath("/includes/topstyle.xsl"))

'Transform file
Response.Write(xml.transformNode(xsl))
%>

This for the XSL:

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

<xslutput method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" doctype-
public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/
TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd" indent="yes"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<ul>
<xsl:for-each select="html/body/item">
<li>
<xsl:value-of select="headline" />
</li>
</xsl:for-each>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

And this for the XHTML:

<!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" xml:lang="EN" lang="EN">
<head>

<title>Test stories</title>

</head>

<body class="iraq">

<td width="226" rowspan="2" valign="top"><a href="#"><img src="../

</table></item>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" valign="top" height="10"></td>

<tr>
<td colspan="2" valign="top" class="itemdescription">Story 2
summary</td>
</tr>
</table></item></td>
<td align="right" valign="top"><item><table width="228" border="0"
cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td width="76" valign="top"><a href="#"><img src="../images/
placeholder66.jpg" alt="Story 3" name="Story3image" width="66"
height="49" id="Story2image2" /></a></td>
<td valign="top"><h3 class="itemheader"><a href="#"

<td colspan="2" valign="top" height="10"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" valign="top" class="itemdescription">Story 3
summary</td>
</tr>
</table></item></td>
</tr>
</table>


</body>

</html>

Obviously i want to change the XHTML to look nicer but i am just
trying to get this working. I know the ASP and XSL work because if i
use an XML file instead of XHTML it works:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<news>
<item><headline>Story 1 headline</headline></item>
<item><headline>Story 2 headline</headline></item>
<item><headline>Story 3 headline</headline></item>
</news>

You need
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlnshtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
exclude-result-prefixes="xhtml"
here on the xsl:stylesheet element to access XHTML elements and to
create XHTML elements.

You need to qualify all element names with the prefix 'xhtml' I defined
above e.g.
select="xhtml:html/xhtml:body/xhtml:item"

> <li>
> <xsl:value-of select="headline" />

Same here
select="xhtml:headline"

and so one everywhere you want to access or match elements from the
source document.

Now i have the xsl like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlnssl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlnshtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
exclude-result-prefixes="xhtml" >

<xslutput method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" doctype-
public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/
TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd" indent="yes"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<ul>
<xsl:for-each select="xhtml:html/xhtml:body/xhtml:item">
<li>
<xsl:value-of select="xhtml:headline" />
</li>
</xsl:for-each>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

which works a bit better (the Li items show up) but there still isn't
anything inside the li items.

I think those headline elements are deep down inside the table so you
either have to spell out the complete path or use
<xsl:value-of select="descendant:html:headline"/>
