xml and css

[dj Red Turtle]

Lets say I have this XML file.

<students>
<background/>
<student>
<firstName>John</firstName>
<lastName>Smith</lastName>
<studentNo>123456789</studentNo>
<semesterNo>1</semesterNo>
<courses>
<course1>abc123</course1>
<course2>def456</course2>
</courses>
</student>

I want to make a css that will make the courses i.e. course1 and course2 to be in a numbered list.

I tried

courses {
display:list-item;
list-style-type:decimal;
left:50px;
position:relative;
}

but it only numbers the first course as 0 and does not number anything else.
Please advise.

don't they all have to be the same? ie. <course id=1>abc123</course><course id=2>def456</course> etc.

course {
display:list-item;
list-style-type:decimal;
left:50px;
position:relative;
}

I think you'd want to look into XSL... it gets a bit confusing these days when people talk about "stylesheets"...
