XSL - blank?

I'm trying to get the idea of how to use XSL on the UDT, but I think I'm having trouble getting the matching. The table just shows up completely blank, but literal data outside the FOR EACH will show.

It looks basically like this except in xml brackets [Department and Name are table columns]:

xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl=http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform

xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" indent=yes" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/

xsl:template match="/userdefinedtable"

xsl:for-each select="Data"

xsl:value-of select="Name"/

&#160

xsl:value-of select="Department"/

BR

/xsl:for-each

/xsl:template

/xsl:stylesheet

xmlns:udt="DotNetNuke/UserDefinedTable"

userdefinedtable is wrong, please remember that xml/xsl is case aware
all UDT data is defined in the namespace "DotNetNuke/UserDefinedTable", so define it inside your stylesheet definition AND use the defined shortcut for every element and attribute.
study the predefined stylesheets as example

this got me a little stumped:

//udt:Data[udt:UserDefinedRowId=$id]/*[name()=$NameOfValueColumn]

p.s. UserDefinedTable is right in the actual sheet I just retyped it fast to get rid of the angle brackets because they were causing trouble in FCK,but I do follow you...

ah, I left out the DotNetNuke there...(I did however capitalize UserDefinedTable correctly...)

Wow, you're good.  I shall now try to make it complicated

(of course you did the hard part)

I now have it working and it transforms the table into a way that javascript rotatese through the new employees here(with their names and departments under it).

Thanks to you I've even got the little edit row pencil rotating with the person it goes with!
