Although I have included the following line in my xslt, the output comes out in text mode:

<xsl:output method="xml" />

What am I doing wrong?

Hi Geetha,
it's hard to see what's going wrong; maybe the instruction is not right after the xsl:stylesheet element, maybe the stylesheet is creating no nodes.... could you attach the entire stylesheet, the input XML and the result you are getting?

Thanks,
Alberto

The output I see is in IE and in Stylus Studio is:

10 5 7 12310 5 7 test

Thanks
Geetha.

What are you expecting to see?

Your output isn't well-formed XML. You have <tat>test</tat>
outside of your root element <AAA> ... </AAA>

If you move <xsl:element name="tat">test</xsl:element> inside
of your <AAA> ... </AAA> element, it should work.

I was trying out various combinations within xslt while trying to resolve this issue. I must have messed it up while doing so. But I am attaching herewith the original stylesheet that I had used. And this is the output that I see:

10 5 7 12310 5 7

I was expecting the output to be in xml.

Hi Geetha,
the XSL is fine; when I run it inside Stylus I get

<AAA>
<OOO>10 </OOO>
<OOO>5 </OOO>
<OOO>7 </OOO>
<XXX>1</XXX>
<XXX>2</XXX>
<XXX>3</XXX>
<YYY>10 </YYY>
<YYY>5 </YYY>
<YYY>7 </YYY>
</AAA>

The problem is that you expect the same data to appear in a browser (IE or Firefox) when loading the XML file; but the browsers treat the result of the XSL processing as HTML, and not being the AAA, OOO, XXX and YYY in the HTML vocabulary, they get ignored and what you see is simply the text between them.

Hope this helps,
Alberto

I am using the XML->Preview in IE menu option in Stylus Studio to view the transformed output. What is the menu option I should be using to view the output as XML within Stylus Studio? I am new to Stylus Studio.

Thanks
Geetha.

Open the XSLT file, and from there set the input URL
to be the XML file. Then run the XSLT and look in
the preview window at the bottom. The buttons in its
toolbar will let you see the output as a tree, as raw
text, or in an embedded IE window.
