Re: CRLF in xslt in Firefox and IE

2005-07-09 14:40:16
The only positive point is, we can recognise IE from inside the xslt
easily, just in case one needs it.

Are you refering to using the system-property(xsl:vendor)
function/property combo to determine what processer you are using or
are you going through all of the above trouble as a hack to make the
same determination?

Hi David,

you hit the point exactly, thank you. So its essentially a fake and
sloppy programming in IE.

I can confirm that you get CRLF in IE and LF in mozila.
It's clear that IE is wrong here but it _isn't_ wrong because it has
left CRLF pairs in the input (that would be terribly broken and would
have been reported here before now)

If you add

[<xsl:value-of select="string-length('&#xD;&#xA;')"/>]

to your stylesheet you will see you get the value 2 from a conformant
system and 1 from IE.

msxml is normalizing the #10#13 pair even though it is in the
stylesheet as character references. so the XPath test that is actually
being done when you do
      <xsl:when test="contains(string(doc),'&#xD;&#xA;')">
in IE is actually
      <xsl:when test="contains(string(doc),'&#xA;')">
This is incorrect but doesn't hit you in real stylesheets as you don't
normally test for #10#13 pairs as you "know" they are not there....
