Having problems on Mozilla firefox (not able to see xml data)..Pls Help.

[viral612]

i m trying to see the xml in a browser using an xslt....

My xml i have defined as

<?xml version=" 1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="Topic_publications_xsl.xsl"?>
<!DOCTYPE root [
<!ENTITY about SYSTEM "publications.xml">

]>

<root>
&about;
</root>


so its extending publications.xml which has the data...

and Topic_publications_xsl.xsl has the logic of showing the data on the browser..

Now this works great on IE but on mozilla firefox it has problems and does not show the data...

Do u have any idea on this??

Also there is a point on mozilla firefox that it does nt accept external DTD's. So is this the reason..

Thanks for the help.

What error do you get?
Please post your XSL code, and XML working in IE.

I haven't messed with xml in quite a while but, if this has to do with external entities, it is my understanding Firefox does not handle those yet.

Ya sure. so there is

Topic_Publications_xml.xml which extends publications.xml

also Topic_Publications_xml.xml used Topic_Publications_xsl.xsl to display on web browser.

 for Topic_Publications_xml.xml
 
 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="Topic_publications_xsl.xsl"?>
<!DOCTYPE root [
<!ENTITY about SYSTEM "publications.xml">
]>
<root>
    &about;
</root>
 
 
 
 

[b]

 for publications.xml
 
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
