[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Re: XML/XSL and ASP/IIS
 Hi there - well, I've tried this with half success/half failure.
I I run the file below, low.xsl, directly from a web page, and after having
mapped it's MIME type to the asp.dll, then I can do everything as I
expected.
However, when I use the following in my asp page,
strOutput = objXML.transformNode(objXSL)
I am unable to get any response back in strOutput. I don't know what the
problem is as I would still expect the .xsl file to be parsed by asp.dll and
the resuting page to be returned - as soon as I take the ASP stuuf out of
the low.xsl file, everything works using strOutput =
objXML.transformNode(objXSL).
What am I doing wrong, or is there a better/another way to do this?
Thanks
Steven
