Re: [xsl] Unable to get Firefox to apply XSL

["Michele R Combs mrrothen@xxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to everyone who responded.  Unfortunately I think local servers etc.
would be much too complicated for my audience and require too much time/effort
to set up for each person (everyone uses their own laptop).  This is for a
library science course, and the only reason my students need this setup is so
they can complete a single assignment - i.e., to create an EAD-encoded finding
guide for the archival collection they've been working on.  The assignment is
intended merely as a brief introduction to finding aids encoding, and the
simplest way for them to check their work and make sure it looks nice/is
correct is to view their EAD in their browser.  In years past this has been
straightforward, but it's getting progressively more difficult to give them a
simple turn-key method, what with different laptops, different operating
systems, and different browsers.  I suppose I could give them Saxon and a
pre-written batch file so all they have to do is double-click; saxon is pretty
self-contained.
Anyway, thanks very much for all the options and the discussion - I've learned
a lot and will save all these emails for future reference :)

This is XSL-coding-adjacent so I'm hoping someone knows.

Firefox is declining to apply an xsl stylesheet to an XML document.  This is a
pair of documents I've used many times over the years for demoing how the
browser can be used to apply XSL to render an XML file into HTML.  Last year
we had to tweak Firefox's  privacy.file.unique.origin setting in about:config
but that particular setting doesn't seem to be present in this latest version
of Firefox, at least I don't see it in about:config, nor anything resembling
it.  Both the XML and XSL are in the same local folder on my desktop.  If
anyone knows a fix I'd be grateful.

Thanks
