- Common XSLT Errors
Your server needs to send both the source and the stylesheet with a XML mime type,
text/xml
orapplication/xml
. To find out the current type, load the file in Mozilla and look at the page info. Or use a download tool, those usually tell the mime type.- PI Parameters
XSLT supports the concept of passing parameters to a stylesheet when executing it. This has been possible for a while when using the
XSLTProcessor
in JavaScript. However when using an<?xml-stylesheet?>
processing instruction (PI) there used to be no way to provide parameters.- Transforming XML with XSLT
The separation of content and presentation is a key design feature of XML. The structure of an XML document is designed to reflect and clarify important relationships among the individual aspects of the content itself, unhindered by a need to provide any indication about how this data should eventually be presented. This intelligent structuring is particularly important as more and more data transfers are automated and take place between highly heterogeneous machines linked by a network.
