I have a simple XML file:
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<?xml-stylesheet type='text/xsl' href='xslOrder.xsl' ?>
<note>
<item name='TypeOrder'>
<text>2</text>
</item>
<item name='CodCustomer'>
<text>006580</text>
</item>
</note>
with an XSL file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="uri:xsl">
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<table border="1">
<tr style="font-weight:bold">
<td>Type Order</td>
<td>Customer</td>
</tr>
<xsl:for-each select='note'>
<tr>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match='item'>
<td><xsl:value-of select='text'/></td>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I have files in the same directory, and it works fine, but if I copy the XML and XSL into a Notes pages, an error occurs in MS ie browser. WHY?
This is most likely due to the fact the paths stored in the XML files are no longer valid. Specifically, look at the href parameter of the style sheet. It uses a relative reference to point to the style sheet. This is no longer valid when you place the files in to a Notes document.
