Re: File Entity Behaviour

Betty,

I hope this is good news:  Your example works fine. 
In fact, I split your sample into 18 different file
entities &stanza1; to &stanza18; and this worked
great.  Looks really nice!!

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="poem.xsl" type="text/xsl"?>
<!DOCTYPE poem SYSTEM "poem.dtd" [

<!ENTITY stanza1 SYSTEM "stanza1.xml">
<!ENTITY stanza2 SYSTEM "stanza2.xml">
<!ENTITY stanza3 SYSTEM "stanza3.xml">
<!ENTITY stanza4 SYSTEM "stanza4.xml">
<!ENTITY stanza5 SYSTEM "stanza5.xml">
<!ENTITY stanza6 SYSTEM "stanza6.xml">
<!ENTITY stanza7 SYSTEM "stanza7.xml">
<!ENTITY stanza8 SYSTEM "stanza8.xml">
<!ENTITY stanza9 SYSTEM "stanza9.xml">
<!ENTITY stanza10 SYSTEM "stanza10.xml">
<!ENTITY stanza11 SYSTEM "stanza11.xml">
<!ENTITY stanza12 SYSTEM "stanza12.xml">
<!ENTITY stanza13 SYSTEM "stanza13.xml">
<!ENTITY stanza14 SYSTEM "stanza14.xml">
<!ENTITY stanza15 SYSTEM "stanza15.xml">
<!ENTITY stanza16 SYSTEM "stanza16.xml">
<!ENTITY stanza17 SYSTEM "stanza17.xml">
<!ENTITY stanza18 SYSTEM "stanza18.xml">
<!ENTITY poe.jpg SYSTEM "poe.jpg" NDATA jpg>

]>

<poem id="poem1">
	<title>The Raven</title>
	<poet>
		<picture name="poe.jpg"/>
		<name>Edgar Allan Poe</name>
	</poet>

&stanza1;
&stanza2;
&stanza3;
&stanza4;
&stanza5;
&stanza6;
&stanza7;
&stanza8;
&stanza9;
&stanza10;
&stanza11;
&stanza12;
&stanza13;
&stanza14;
&stanza15;
&stanza16;
&stanza17;
&stanza18;

I definitely did not experience this.

Very peculiar.  If I may suggest something that might
be obvious, are you definitely *forcing* IE to reload
your page?  For example, simply re-typing the URL in
the Address box won't do it.  It will recall a
previous version from its cache.  That is one
explanation for your "they still display" problem.  If
you suspect this, be sure to press the "Refresh"
button explicity after every file change.

Hope this helps,

Bill
