XSL Transform problems in IE

[m0nkeymafia]

Hi,
I have an XSL stylesheet which works perfectly and some AJAX code to pull the XML and XSL off the server, the AJAX code is used throughout all my pages all of which work fine, bar 2, which generate FORM components on the fly using the stylesheet.

In IE only they do not show and I have no idea why, they work fine in firefox and the AJAX code performs as expected on every other page bar this.

Is this due to a lack of support from IE or have I made a mistake? I am using an XML / XSL editor that also validates and that has found no issues!!

Could anyone shed any light please!

THANKYOU!!!

Example XML File:
----------------------

<SMARTLANE>
<StoreConfig storename="MarksNSparks">
<LaneConfig group = "0" number = "1-15"></LaneConfig>
<DoorConfig number = "30"></DoorConfig>
</StoreConfig>
</SMARTLANE>

----------------------
XSL File
----------------------

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:output method="html" indent="no" />

<xsl:template match="/SMARTLANE/StoreConfig">
<form name="SubmitStoreConfig" method="post">
<div class="configSection">
<h3><xsl:value-of select="@storename"/> Store Configuration</h3>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Type</th>
<th>Lanes/CanID</th>
<th>Group</th>
<th><img src="Graphics/delete.jpg" /></th>
</tr>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</table>

</div>
</form>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="LaneConfig|DoorConfig">
<xsl:variable name="number"><xsl:value-of select="@number"/></xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="group">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="@group != ''"><xsl:value-of select="@group"/></xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>N/A</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="name"><xsl:value-of select="name()"/></xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="class">
<xsl:value-of select="position()"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="position() mod 2 = 1">odd</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>even</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>

<tr class="{$class}">
<td><xsl:value-of select="$name"/><input type="hidden" name="type" value='{$name}' /></td>
<td><input type="text" name="number" value='{$number}' size="4"/></td>
<td><input type="text" name="group" value='{$group}' size="2" /></td>
<td><img src="Graphics/delete.jpg" /></td>
</tr>
</xsl:template>


</xsl:stylesheet>

Javascript
N.b. please note the javascript has been stripped back in an attempt to trap leaks in IE, if anyone could also suggest fixes for this thatd be great!!!

what errors do you get?
are you debugging this locally via the file: protocol?

if so modify your code like this:

function checkReadyState()
{
if(xmlhttp.readyState == 4)
{
if(xmlhttp.responseStream)
{
xmlhttp.responseXML.load(xmlhttp.responseStream);
return true;
}

if(xmlhttp.status == 200)
{
return true;
}
else
{
document.getElementById(gObjId).innerHTML = "Error retrieving XML data";
}
}
}

Hello thankyou for your reply, apologies for my late update.

I fixed the problem yesterday and it was in fact due to a silly mistake on my part. The webserver that serves up the files, specifically the XML data, was written by myself, and I had ommitted to send the HTTP header information before the file itself. Firefox dealt with it naturally but IE couldnt make any presumptions about it.

Thats why I thought IE was having the problem when it was in fact me!

Thanks for the help mate!

I am however still having problems with my javascript leaking in IE, so any more suggestions on that front will be much appreciated. Thanks
