Re: [xsl] Unable to get Firefox to apply XSL

Oh wow, thank you – I just tested it and works perfectly.  This might be the 
answer.  Do you know if it could be modified to work with file *names* rather 
than dragging/dropping the entire file?

Also, why does this avoid the security issue?

If running a server is too much you can still run xslt 1 stylesheets in the 
browser off the filesystem if you use an html file so there is some human 
interaction rather than the xml-stylesheet  processing instruction link.

I wrote this a while ago (more than a decade I guess:-)  I just removed a few 
local features and it seems to work in firefox chrome and edge
You can drag and drop a source file and an xslt file in to the boxes then click 
run and the resulting html appears in a div on the page.
You can then edit the source within the page and re-run.

It could be made prettier and have at least an attempt at error checking but If 
you save the three files locally and open test1.html in your browser you should 
be able to drag and drop the xml source and xslt in to the boxes then click run 
to see the result.

This is XSL-coding-adjacent so I’m hoping someone knows.

Firefox is declining to apply an xsl stylesheet to an XML document.  This is a 
pair of documents I’ve used many times over the years for demoing how the 
browser can be used to apply XSL to render an XML file into HTML.  Last year we 
had to tweak Firefox’s  privacy.file.unique.origin setting in about:config but 
that particular setting doesn’t seem to be present in this latest version of 
Firefox, at least I don’t see it in about:config, nor anything resembling it.  
Both the XML and XSL are in the same local folder on my desktop.  If anyone 
knows a fix I’d be grateful.

Thanks
