I'm real new to xml and am in trial for Home Edition. I have completed the tutorial on xslt in the documentation and would like to view it in Firefox but can't figure out how.

What do you mean? Would you like to see the tutorial in Firefox? Or the result of an XSLT query?

The former can be done using our online documentation (http://www.stylusstudio.com/docs/v62/d_xslt.html).

If you want to see the result of an XSLT processing in Firefox, you can set "Preview result in an external application" in the scenario dialog; that will display the processing result in the application associated by default to the generated result (your default HTLM browser, for HTML).

Hope this helps,
Minollo

That sure helps. I'm also wondering how you would load the files directly in a browser for use without going through the processor attached to Stylus.

Sorry about the double post. It must have been a result of refreshing Firefox to check for replies or I accidentally clicked the Post submit twice.

If you want to save the preview result, you can just click on the "Save Preview" button (shaped as a disk) at the left of the preview pane; keep in mind that when you do that you save the *result* of the transformation; if the source XML changes, you will need to run the transformation again to refresh the result.

Internet Explorer has a way to open an XML document and render it as the result of an XSLT transformation on the fly; I'm not aware of something equivalent in Firefox, even if you could surely write a JavaScript that does the same.

I guess what I'm missing is the right learning materials that give examples that I can work through that show uses for xml. It's so different in the way it's taught than html, php, or javascript. The first book I bought is full of errors which makes it rough on a beginner. It has lots of little typos that made me quit half the way through. Well another should be here any day and maybe it will clarify.
Thanks again for your helpfulness.
