I am having a problem trying to embed an xsl:stylesheet in an XML data
island and then use transformnode to render the page.
The problem seems to be with the xsl:include statement. If I put the
stylesheet into a separate file and use <XML ... src="file.xstl" > instead,
it works. If I embed the xsl:stylesheet in the <XML> tag on the html page,
the browser (IE6) crashes when I launch the page from the local file system.
If I use a relative url for the xsl:include, the browser says "The system
cannot locate the object specified". If I use an absolute url (like the
example below), the browser crashes when I launch the html file. I've also
tried launching the html file from tomcat using both relative and absolute
urls for the included xslt file. If I comment out the xsl:include and put
the TestFrame template directly into the embedded stylesheet, it works. I
really need to use xsl:include because my application is much bigger than
this test sample.
I've seen posts that talk about using a fully-qualified URL on the
xsl:include. I haven't been able to get it working using file://..., but
even if it worked, this seems to defeat the purpose of having reusable,
modular xslt files. I could understand that href's inside an html page
might need to be fully qualified, but I have several layers of nesting of
xsl:imports and I think it?s unreasonable to fully-qualify every href. I
hope I?m doing something wrong.
I am attaching the html file that contains the main stylesheet and the
included xslt file below.
I appreciate any help.
