I want to display XML as excel spreadsheet on the browser using XSL. Any suggestions.
Set the mime-type to "application/vnd.ms-excel". That tells the browser to forward the file to excel for display.
As to the actual format of the file, it can be any of the following (non-exhaustive):
1) regular plain ole xml -- this works best if it's xml that comes from a database in rows and fields, as excel doesn't intellligently display xml with nesting)
2) html table -- this allows you to control formatting, borders, etc. But it's quite verbose so you don't want to do this with a large file
3) csv
4) tab-delimited file
