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

Oh wow, thank you b I just tested it and works perfectly.  This might be the
answer.  Do you know if it could be modified to work with file *names* rather
than dragging/dropping the entire file?

Also, why does this avoid the security issue?

If running a server is too much you can still run xslt 1 stylesheets in the
browser off the filesystem if you use an html file so there is some human
interaction rather than the xml-stylesheet  processing instruction link.

I wrote this a while ago (more than a decade I guess:-)  I just removed a few
local features and it seems to work in firefox chrome and edge
You can drag and drop a source file and an xslt file in to the boxes then
click run and the resulting html appears in a div on the page.
You can then edit the source within the page and re-run.

It could be made prettier and have at least an attempt at error checking but
If you save the three files locally and open test1.html in your browser you
should be able to drag and drop the xml source and xslt in to the boxes then
click run to see the result.

This is XSL-coding-adjacent so Ibm hoping someone knows.

Firefox is declining to apply an xsl stylesheet to an XML document.  This is a
pair of documents Ibve 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 Firefoxbs  privacy.file.unique.origin setting in
about:config but that particular setting doesnbt seem to be present in this
latest version of Firefox, at least I donbt 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 Ibd be grateful.

Thanks
