RE: How to output <xsl:message> to a log file

Thanks Dan.

I am still confused on what is exactly the standart output (or error
output) ?
I guess if I was using the XSL processor of a webbrowser, the message
would be displayed on the screen am I right ?

But because of calling the transform thru classi asp (MSXML2) is there
any way of even seeing this error output ?

Thank you

I am trying to build some error handling wich would flag the errors 
but would still carry on doing the transformation.
I was reading that <xsl:message terminate="no"> could output the 
message to a log file, or store it in the message buffer.

<xsl:message terminate="no"> is certainly a good way to output error
messages without stopping the transformation.

<xsl:message> simply goes to standard out (or standard error); I don't
know if there's a way to redirect error messages using MSXML2. But
Michael Kay's book has a warning that you might find interesting:

"Microsoft's MSXML3 parser currently ignores <xsl:message
terminate="no"> so the message is not reported anywhere. If
terminate="yes", it generates an error, which can be handled through the
script on the HTML page that invoked the transformation."
