getting the output in the form of xml

hai

i have got
1. an xml file
2. an xsl file

and my xsl file filters the xml based on attribute value

and the output i receive is in the ordinary format

could any help in getting the output in the form of xml

i tried

<xsl:output method="xml" />

this is not working

i worked on VC++ to know the output string but i am receiving only the
tag values as output i need the entire xml matching the filter
condition.

plz help me to get the output in the correct format

thanks

What exactly is "the ordinary format", plain text, or HTML, or what else?

Well what exactly does your stylesheet look like, how does your input
XML look?
Make sure that your XSLT stylesheet creates result elements with e.g.
<xsl:copy>
or with
<xsl:element>
or with literal result elements, it does not suffic to use e.g.
<xsl:value-of select="." />
to create elements.

</cd>
<cd>
<title year="1995">Hide your heart</title>

</catalog>


the output expected


<cd>

</cd>


the xsl used


<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="/catalog/cd[title[@year='1990']]">
<xsl:value-of select="." />
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

my output is

Empire Burlesque Bob Dylan 10.90


is there anything i have to change in the xsl to get the output in the
xml format
