ie7 xsl input tag

[jckdnk111]

Hi,

I've got some javascript that attempts to set the innerHTML of a div with the result of an xslt. It works great if the output is something like:

<p>hello world</p>

However, if the output is an input field it fails:

<input type="text" name"test" value="please work" />

This xsl works in both firefox 2 and opera 9, just not ie7?
ie throws "XML Parsing Error: The following tags were not closed: input"
Any ideas as to why?

Thanks for the help!

ah ha!

I was playing around with xmlstarlet on my local box and found that my xsl was, in fact, creating malformed XHTML because I had specified "html" as my output method:

<xsl:output method="html"/>

Because the original page that loaded the html had a DTD declaring "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd" ie7 rightly complained about the HTML being generated.

wow, check out ie7 actually correcting my code :-)

XHTML does not work in any version of IE and Microsoft has no plans to make it work, except if you serve it as application/xml.
