If so, the only way I know to see the actual transformed HTML is through some Javascript magic using the following two functions: // handle opening or reusing an already open display window displayWin = null; function showDisplayWin( title ) { if( typeof displayWin == "undefined" || displayWin == null || displayWin.closed ) { displayWin = window.open( "about:blank", "DisplayWindow", "resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes" ); displayWin.document.write( "<html><title>HTML</title>" + "<body style=\"font:x-small 'Verdana';\">" + "<nobr id=x>working...</nobr></body></html>\n" ); } else displayWin.document.body.all("x").innerText = "working..."; displayWin.document.title = title; displayWin.focus(); } // Javascript function to place the transformed HTML in a // separate display window function display_html( ) { // open or locate an already open second display window showDisplayWin( "HTML" ); // get the XML document xmlDoc = document.XMLDocument; // get the stylesheet as assigned in the XML document stylesheet = document.XSLDocument; // get the root node (you may find better ways of doing this // depending upon your situation) node = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName( 'YourXMLRootNodeName' )[0]; // transform the XML using the stylesheet output_text = node.transformNode( stylesheet ); // update the display window to show transformed HTML // as actual HTML displayWin.document.body.all("x").innerText = output_text; } You have two methods to tie the Javascript to a page: 1) Place a temporary input button on the page itself: <input type="button" value="Display HTML" onclick="display_html()" /> Of course, this assumes you can get to the point where something actually displays in the browser window. 2) Tie the above Javascript to an item in IE's context menu (right mouse button click). It's not terribly difficult but does require editing the registry.
