Re: [xsl] question on support of stylesheet embedding

2009-07-15 15:55:26
But it is working for Firefox 2/3 and Opera 9.64, NOT for MS IE6.
I found neither negative nor positive statements on IE 6/7/8 support
of stylesheet embedding while searching the web.

Does anybody now the answer whether any of the Microsoft browsers
supports stylesheet embedding?

It does not look like that is supported with IE. IE 8 when I try your
test case http://www.stamm-wilbrandt.de/en/xsl-list/cdcatalog.xml seems
to sniff the content and try to interpret it as text/html meaning you
end up with a browser window displaying the contents of the first title
element in the window bar and a table with only the header row as the
contents of the document followed by any text nodes in all those unknown
(to the HTML parser) elements like artist, country.

Thanks for trying it with IE8 (unsuccessfully).
I tried in on a system with IE7 where it did not work either, and the
output is as you described for all IE browsers (6/7/8).

David reported that it does work fine with Chrome.

Seems that MS browsers really do not support this, although I tried to
make it really easy for them by using the non-standard MS registered
type="text/xsl" based on this old post:
