Re: File Entity Behaviour

["Betty L. Harvey" <harvey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It works fine without the XSL stylesheet.  When I add the
XSL stylesheet is when I am experiencing the problem.

I knew that file entities don't work with CSS but I
thought they would work with XSL.  If you have a file
entity and CSS, IE 5.0 only displays the file entity
and not the rest of the file.

EXAMPLE:

	File without CSS:

	http://www.eccnet.com/sgmlug/xml-browsers/poem/raven.xml

	Same file with CSS stylesheet:

	http://www.eccnet.com/sgmlug/xml-browsers/poem/raven-css.xml

	This is the same file with XSL but I only have 1 ENTITY.

	http://www.eccnet.com/sgmlug/xml-browsers/poem/raven-xsl.xml

Stanza 2 is the file entity.

Thanks.

Betty
