 Hi All, I know this probably isn't the best forum for this, although, I would love to hear how the processor handles this, anyway, here's my question. I have an XSLT that is transforming some data into HTML. I am trying to generate some HTML code in a template, but for some reason, the BR tags are not being added to the result. Strangely enough, if I do this in the XSLT in a literal way, it works just fine. I'm checking these out in the IE and Netscape browsers, and I get the same results for both, so I'm pretty sure it's not a bug. Here is an example of the code. I tried to make it as accurate to what I was doing as possible, so it is a touch verbose (sorry about that, but it might be pertinent). I have also attached the 2 example files: <!-- XML DATA --> <!-- Saved as MyBRProb.xml --> <?xml version="1.0"?> <?xml-stylesheet type='text/xsl' href='MyBRProb.xsl'?> <prb xmlns="www.MyBRProblem.org"> <issue id="01"> <description> <problem-area> <entry id="1"> <date>01/01/2001 12:00:00 AM</date> <text>A BR problem for this "thing"</text> </entry> <entry id="2"> <person ref-id="01"/> <date>01/01/2001 12:00:01 AM</date> <text>More problems</text> </entry> </problem-area> </description> </issue> <person-info> <person id="01"> <first>Christopher</first> <last>Strolia-Davis</last> </person> </person-info> </prb> <!-- ************************************************************ --> <!-- XSL SHEET --> <!-- Saved as MyBRProb.xml --> <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0" xmlns:prb="www.MyBRProblem.org"> <xsl:output method="html"/> <!-- PAGE --> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:element name="html"> <xsl:element name="head"> <xsl:element name="meta"> <xsl:attribute name="http-equiv">Content-Type</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="content">text/html; charset=iso-8859-1</xsl:attribute> </xsl:element> <xsl:element name="title"> <xsl:text>Test BR problem</xsl:text> </xsl:element> </xsl:element> <xsl:element name="body"> <xsl:element name="div"> <xsl:call-template name="page-body"/> </xsl:element> </xsl:element> </xsl:element> </xsl:template> <!-- PAGE-BODY --> <xsl:template name="page-body"> <xsl:element name="table"> <xsl:attribute name="cellspacing">2</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="cellpadding">2</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="width">100%</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="class">Container</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="summary">A table that contains sections, one of which is having a BR tag problem</xsl:attribute> <xsl:element name="tbody"> <xsl:apply-templates select="prb:prb/prb:issue/prb:description"/> </xsl:element> </xsl:element> </xsl:template> <!-- DESCRIPTION-SECTION --> <xsl:template match="prb:description"> <!-- Problem Area --> <xsl:call-template name="data-row"> <xsl:with-param name="row-title">Problem Area</xsl:with-param> <xsl:with-param name="row-value"> <xsl:apply-templates select="prb:problem-area/prb:entry" mode="blob-multi"/> </xsl:with-param> </xsl:call-template> <!-- THIS CODE SEEMS TO WORK FOR SOME REASON, BUT THE TEMPLATE --> <!-- WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO CRANK OUT THE SAME OUTPUT DOESN'T --> <!-- SEEM TO WORK --> <xsl:element name="tr"> <xsl:element name="th" use-attribute-sets="field-row-header"> <xsl:text>Problem Area</xsl:text> </xsl:element> <xsl:element name="td"> <xsl:attribute name="class">field-data</xsl:attribute> <xsl:text>A BR problem for this "thing"</xsl:text> <xsl:element name="br"/> <xsl:text>---------------------------------------------</xsl:text> <xsl:element name="br"/> <xsl:text>Christopher Strolia-Davis on 01/01/2001 12:00:01 AM EDT</xsl:text> <xsl:element name="br"/> <xsl:text>More problems</xsl:text> </xsl:element> </xsl:element> </xsl:template> <!-- DATA-ROW-TEMPLATE --> <xsl:template name="data-row"> <xsl:param name="row-title"/> <xsl:param name="row-value"/> <xsl:element name="tr"> <xsl:element name="th" use-attribute-sets="field-row-header"> <xsl:value-of select="$row-title"/> </xsl:element> <xsl:element name="td"> <xsl:attribute name="class">field-data</xsl:attribute> <xsl:value-of select="$row-value"/> </xsl:element> </xsl:element> </xsl:template> <!-- PERSON-NAME-TEMPLATES --> <xsl:template match="@ref-id" mode="get-name"> <xsl:variable name="person-id" select="."/> <xsl:value-of select="/prb:prb/prb:person-info/prb:person[@id=$person-id]/prb:first"/> <xsl:apply-templates select="/prb:prb/prb:person-info/prb:person[@id=$person-id]/prb:last" mode="r-name"/> <xsl:apply-templates select="/prb:prb/prb:person-info/prb:person[@id=$person-id]/prb:mi" mode="r-name"/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="prb:last|prb:mi" mode="r-name"> <xsl:text> </xsl:text> <xsl:value-of select="."/> </xsl:template> <!-- HERE IS THE MAIN PROBLEM CODE I AM HAVING --> <!-- BLOB-TEXT-MULTIPLE-ENTRY-TEMPLATE --> <xsl:template match="prb:entry" mode="blob-multi"> <xsl:if test="position()>1"> <br/> <xsl:text>---------------------------------------------</xsl:text> <xsl:element name="br"/> <xsl:apply-templates select="prb:person/@ref-id" mode="get-name"/> <xsl:text> on </xsl:text> <xsl:value-of select="prb:date"/> <xsl:text> EDT</xsl:text> <xsl:element name="br"/> </xsl:if> <xsl:value-of select="prb:text"/> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> <!-- ************************************************************ --> Thanks in advance for any help.
