    <p>I'm coding my first website using XML+XSL. The xml I am transforming have this section:</p> <pre><code>&lt;page&gt; &lt;news&gt; &lt;highlights&gt; &lt;entry&gt; &lt;mini&gt;x_thumb.jpg&lt;/mini&gt; &lt;title&gt;title&lt;/title&gt; &lt;text&gt;text&lt;/text&gt; &lt;image&gt;x.jpg&lt;/image&gt; &lt;link&gt;x.html&lt;/link&gt; &lt;/entry&gt; &lt;entry&gt; &lt;mini&gt;z_thumb.jpg&lt;/mini&gt; &lt;title&gt;title&lt;/title&gt; &lt;text&gt;text&lt;/text&gt; &lt;image&gt;z.jpg&lt;/image&gt; &lt;link&gt;z.html&lt;/link&gt; &lt;/entry&gt; &lt;entry&gt; &lt;mini&gt;y_thumb.jpg&lt;/mini&gt; &lt;title&gt;title&lt;/title&gt; &lt;text&gt;text&lt;/text&gt; &lt;image&gt;y.jpg&lt;/image&gt; &lt;link&gt;y.html&lt;/link&gt; &lt;/entry&gt; &lt;/highlights&gt; &lt;/news&gt; &lt;/page&gt; </code></pre> <p>In my .xsl file I want to select the first entry because I'm doing a jQuery image rotator and I need the "default" image to show it. So I coded:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?&gt; &lt;xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"&gt; &lt;xsl:template match="/"&gt; [...] &lt;xsl:template match="page/news/highlights/entry[1]"&gt; &lt;div class="main_image"&gt; &lt;img&gt; &lt;xsl:attribute name="src"&gt; &lt;xsl:value-of select="image" /&gt; &lt;/xsl:attribute&gt; &lt;xsl:attribute name="alt"&gt; &lt;xsl:value-of select="title" /&gt; &lt;/xsl:attribute&gt; &lt;/img&gt; &lt;div class="desc"&gt; &lt;div class="block"&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;xsl:value-of select="text" /&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; [...] </code></pre> <p>And I can't get it working. I've tried various ways, like:</p> <pre><code>&lt;xsl:value-of select="page/news/highlights/entry[1]/image" /&gt; </code></pre> <p>An no way... How can I do it?</p> <p>Thanks in advance!</p>

    3. COYou are always talking about "it" ("I can't get it working", "How can I do it?") without clearly defining what "it" is. Do not assume people know about or care for the inner workings of the particular jQuery image plugin you are using. Just showing the desired output will be enough for XSLT questions. *PS: Also, please post a syntactically legal code sample next time. This will help people reproduce your problem without the need to guess.*

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
