Given stock.xml and its associated stock.xsl, how do I generate the resultant HTML without using the XSLT processor in IE?

Thank you.

Choose Associate XML with XSLT-stylesheet from the XML-menu having stock.xml open.
Then in IE request: stock.xml and voila...

Thank you.

So I guess what you are saying is that SS leverages the XSLT processor in the browser versus replicating that functionality in the SS product?

No, Mr. Verhoek's advice is not the only way.

Within Stylus Studio, open the XSLT file. Choose the
Scenario Properties (the quickest way is to use the [...] button
in the toolbar).

There you can associate the XML with the XSLT.

Although if you load the XML with the XSL PI you can preview it
using a browser's XSLT engine, Stylus Studio includes it's own
engine, optimized for debugging, along with Saxon, and provides
access to several strains of Microsoft XSLT and also the built-in
Java XSLT engine (typically a version of Xerces-J).

Hi John,

There are several way to invoke XSLT.

In Stylus Studio you can open a stylehseet and click the preview button. Stylus Studio allows to configure a variety of XSLT processors: Stylus built-in, Saxon 6/8, Java built-in, MSXML 3/4/6 and .NET built-in.

Stylus Studio also bundles a command line interface for it's own processor called StylusXslt.exe

Which processor is best for you really depends in which context you are deploying your transformations.

Hope this helps

Well, there are many options working with XSLT. Browsers like IE and FF both support XSLT. Safari doesn't as far as I know. See their respective development sites for their support of it. And that's just their problem, you never know exactly if a users browser supports your XSLT site.
So, another way is transforming your XML with XSLT serverside and just output the HTML to the browser. SS supports various XSLT transformation processors to test your XSLT for every circumstance.
