xsl include css
Hello Robert,

The solution you mentioned worked. As I said, something that you spend a lot
of time on turn out to be very simple

So this is the structure for people who might encounter this problem

webapps
-- my_app
---htmlfiles
---css folder
----style.css
---js folder
----script.js
---WEB-INF
----classes
----lib
----xslt

In the xslt include css and js as within the <head> section as
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/style.css" type="text/css" />
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="../js/tree.js"/>
</head>

This shud do it.

Thanks.

TP.
