Hi Chris, > I'm trying to distribute a self-contained stylesheet to format and > display data on MS IE 5.5 and higher browsers. (I have to send a > single file with an .xml extension) I don't think that you can use embedded stylesheets with IE (or I've never yet managed to). However, what you can do is embed the *data* within the *stylesheet* and then get at it using the document() function. A very quick example to demonstrate the idea. Here's "test.xml" - a file that references itself as its own stylesheet. The source data is embedded within the stylesheet, within the my:data element. <?xml version="1.0"?> <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="test.xml"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:my="http://www.jenitennison.com/" exclude-result-prefixes="my"> <my:data> Foo bar </my:data> <xsl:template match="/"> <html> <head><title>Test</title></head> <body> <h1>Here's my heading</h1> <xsl:value-of select="document('')/*/my:data" /> </body> </html> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> [Note that the my:data element has to be an element in a namespace; you can stop this namespace from being added to the output using the exclude-result-prefixes attribute as shown above.] The result (tested in IE 6.0) is the HTML page: <html> <head> <title>Test</title> <META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-16"> </head> <body> <h1>Here's my heading</h1> Foo bar </body> </html> Out of interest, why do you need to deliver a single document rather than two?
