Which version of Xalan are we talking about? The version of Xalan-J we use in production has no problem writing <br/> as <br>. Would this have something to do with not using -HTML when invoking the transformer? > here's a question for I guess everyone, how many people > actually find a > use for xsl:output method="html"? Er, everyday, since XSLT drives the presentation layer of our Web sites. HTML output is pretty much a given. > Are there some particular browsers, html implementations, out > there that > will choke on <br/> for example?

Netscape 4.x has been mentioned; it has a problem with close tags for empty elements (and a host of other issues, being horribly obsolete, but that's a discussion for another mailing list). But other browsers, including new versions of Netscape and IE, will also have trouble with certain elements if the processor doesn't write out conformant HTML (I've heard of issues with <textarea> and IE6 for example). > For me it always seemed that the ability to output html was one of the > things that were originally assumed to be very likely of high import > that later turned out to have very little import whatsoever. > > What is your usage, percentage wise of xsl:output > method="html" and why? See above. It's all we do with XSLT. What we're doing now is determining if this is the most efficient way to handle our presentation. cheers, b. | brian martinez brian.martinez@xxxxxxxx | | senior gui programmer 303.708.7248 | | trip network, inc. fax 303.790.9350 | | 6436 s. racine cir. englewood, co 80111 | | http://www.cheaptickets.com/ http://www.trip.com/ | XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
