Manos,
I think you may have miss reading my original message.
The javascript error is caused by the transformation.
Mozilla seems to think 'document' = the untransformed 'XML Document'
and not the output transformed HTML document.
Also, this is just talking about situation (1)... how about situation (2)

Subject: [xsl] Any samples of client-side XSLT to generate webpages?
Hi all,
I am looking for samples (hopefully as part of a web site)
of web pages that use XSLT in a browser to generate the HTML
that is displayed.
Best would be pages that have forms. As I am encountering a problem
trying to submit a form in Mozilla using 'document.myForm.submit()'.
When I did a alert() to see the value of 'document' it returned
'XMLDocument' and 'document.forms' returned 'undefined'.
Currently, it works in IE using client-side transformation
(ContentType: "text/xml") and in Mozilla using server-side
transformation (ContentType: "text/html").
Also, I noticed in Mozilla's DOM Inspector that my '#document' had
two 'html' child nodes, the first was blank and the second had the
'head' and 'body' nodes and the namespace 'http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'.
Any idea for this extra 'html' node?
I really would like to examine how other people do XSLT in browsers,
thus the reason I am looking for samples. Or should I do all my
transformation on the server-side?
By the way, I am using Mozilla 1.8a2 and IE 6.0.
Thanks for looking into this. :)
Regards,
Daniel

Can anyone explain to me why the below happens:
(1) http://202.156.224.29:18080/shatteredspace/login.do
- works in IE
- unable to submit form in Mozilla
That's a javascript error. Just go to Tools > Web Development >
JavaScript Console and you'll see what the problem is; you have to use
DOM properly to submit the form. formName.submit() only works in IE, you
should use document.forms or getElementById etc.
Clearly not an XSL issue ;-)

(2) http://202.156.224.29:18080/shatteredspace/login.do?transform=true
- works in Mozilla - currently need to manually add the '?transform=true',
but I might automate this later
- nothing visible (except background graphic) in IE
Here's the code that either (1) writes out XML with a XSLT stylesheet or
(2) uses saxon to transform into HTML.
protected void writeDocument()
{
try
{
boolean transform =
ConversionUtils.primitiveBooleanValue(_request.getParameter(PARAM_TRANSFORM)
);
if(transform)
{
InputStream inputStream =
_request.getSession().getServletContext().getResourceAsStream("stylesheets/"
+ _stylesheet);
//_response.setContentType("'application/xhtml+xml"); // currently
most browsers do not support this yet
_response.setContentType("text/html");
//TODO: Add Caching
TransformerFactory transformerFactory =
TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer(new
StreamSource(inputStream));
transformer.transform(new JDOMSource(_document), new
StreamResult(_response.getOutputStream()));
}
else
{
_document.addContent(0, new ProcessingInstruction("xml-stylesheet",
"type=\"text/xsl\" href=\"stylesheets/" + _stylesheet + "\""));
_response.setContentType("text/xml");
XMLOutputter xmlOutputter = new
XMLOutputter(Format.getPrettyFormat());
xmlOutputter.output(_document, _response.getWriter());
}
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
throw new NestableRuntimeException("Failed to write document", ex);
}
}
Make sure your server or servlet/whatever is configured to send the
right MIME type to the browser...
I believe I am using the right mime type, correct me if I am wrong. :p

Ok, I understand this now.
If I ever need to produce HTML fragments I will use Sarissa (I find how it
works very intersting). But the approach I am currently trying is to
produce
whole HTML pages by XSLT transformation in the client's browser.
Why dont you just send XML with an stylesheet PI to the browser then?
