I am attempting to take XML files and dynamically convert to HTML with
XSLT in the browser (no problem there). During the transform to HTML I
throw in a reference to a CSS file. It seems that IE has no problem with
this, but Netscape/Mozilla do not seem to apply the CSS.
There was old bug with it in mozilla, something with embedded css stylesheets,
but I believe it's fixed a long time ago. Show us how do you "throw in a
reference to a CSS file".
I have found a discussion on my exact problem at:
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145684
However, I am still having problems getting it to work. Having not done
much CSS, I'm sure I am doing something wrong. Here are the bits of my
XSLT that should be relevant.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="html"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<head>
<link href="sample.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
media="all/print/screen"></link>
</head>
Then, the part I have been trying to make work with CSS as a test case
looks like this:
<p class="syntax"><b>property </b> <xsl:value-of
select="$prop"/><xsl:value-of select="$arrayparams"/>: <xsl:value-of
select="$type"/>
<xsl:if test="syntax/read != ''">
<b> read </b><xsl:value-of select="syntax/read"/>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="syntax/write != ''">
<b> write </b><xsl:value-of select="syntax/write"/>
</xsl:if>; </p>
And, just to test things, I have added the following to sample.css
p.syntax {
color : green;
font : Courier;
}
I know it is loading the .css file because if I choose View | Page Info
it is listed both under the Links tab as a stylesheet and the Privacy
tab as an externally loaded document.
One quote in the discussions on bugzilla relating to someone having a
similar problem is
"The source XML doesn't specify a namespace, so things like the style=""
attributes won't be treated as you expect because the browser doesn't
assume it's dealing with HTML."
But, I thought that is what the xsl:output tag did...
