Hi.

IE5b2 only as yet impliments the tranformative part of XSL not the
formatting objects, so you'd need to replay the block elements with DIVs.

Also to output the content of an element implicitly when not handled
elsewhere you'd need to define a "catch-all" template". So you might need
something like...

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http//www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl">
     <xsl:template>
          <xsl:value-of />
     </xsl:template>
     <xsl:template match="/">
          <html>
               <head>
                    <title>Test</title>
               </head>
               <body>
                    <xsl:apply-templates />
               </body>
          </html>
     </xsl:template>
     <xsl:template match= "greeting">
          <div style="color:red; font-size: 16pt">
               <xsl:apply-templates />
          </div>
     </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Please note, this is off the top of my head, and I haven't tested it.

I would strongly urge if you plan on using the IE5b2 XSL that you read the
documentation at http://www.microsoft.com/xml/

Good luck
     Guy.

Just starting out in XML and XSL and tried to do a very simple document.
The XML is:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml:stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="test.xsl"?>
<greeting>Hello XSL!</greeting>
and the XSL is:
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http//www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl"
xmlns:fo="http//www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl/FO" result-ns="fo">
 <xsl:template match= "greeting">
 <fo:block color="red" font-size="16pt">
   <process-children/>
  </fo:block>
 </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
So I open the greeting.xml in IE Beta2 and I get a blank screen.  I
randomly
change something in either document to generate an error message, so I
know the
browser sees the XML and is "gluing" it to the XSL.  Why am I getting a
blank
screen?
Thanks in advance for any help.
