Step 1 – Creating a Movies XML file (15 points)

Create an XML file containing information about your favorite movies. Each entry should contain (1) movie ID, (2) title, (3) principal director, (4) year, and (5) multiple genre entries (such as action, comedy, drama, humor, animated). In all but three of the movies, include one more field named url that contains a hyperlink to the movie’s description in some online database such as imdb.com. Include at least 15 movie entries. For genre types, refer to imdb.com. This xml file should attach the Step2.xslt file for formatting. Call this file Stepl.xml.

Step 2 – Displaying Movie Titles using XSLT (15 points)

Create an XSLT file that displays data from the Stepl.xml file. Display each movie title on a separate line, sorted in ascending order by title. Use the xsl:template, xsl:value-of, xsl:sort, and xsl:for-each statements. Call this file Step2.xslt.

Step 3 – Formatting with Tables (25 points)

Build on the previous version by adding attractive HTML formatting, using a table. Use CSS style classes to control the background color, padding, alignment, fonts, and other details. Display the id, title, director and year field as for each movie as columns in each table row. Place a heading row in the first line of the table. Call the two files for this step, Step3.xml and Step3.xslt. Make sure this will work in Internet Explorer.

Step 4 – Using a movie Template (20 points)

Modify the previous version by using a template for all output related to a single movie. The resulting HTML output should be identical to the HTML produced by your previous version. Call the two files for this step, Step4.xml and Step4.xslt. Make sure this will work in Internet Explorer.

Submission (5 Points)

Submit a single .zip file named FirstnameLastnameA1.zip containing all your files with no other files or folders. When I open the zip file I should see the following files:

1. Step1.xml2. Step2.xslt3. Step3.xml4. Step3.xslt5. Step4.xml6. Step4.xslt

There should be no other files or folders.

Note that the program will be tested in Internet Explorer. Make sure that if you right click on each xml file you should be able to open it in Internet Explorer using your xslt file. If it does not work, it will not be able to earn any points and will not be graded further.
