When i run this code i do not get any error messages i just get a blank white screen i have been trying to figure out what the problem is but im stumped its acting like i am not pulling any info from the xml file. im fairly new to xml and i have only gotten my feet wet on parsing and dealing with outputing the data from the xml elements. any help would be appreciated thanks.

 

here is the xml file its attempting to parse: http://gamebattles.com/xbox360/call-of-duty-4/team/body-count-1/stats.xml
