I'm interpolating here by assuming your using an IE browser to display
the transformed XML. If so, the only way I know to see the actual
transformed HTML is through some Javascript magic using the following
two functions:
// handle opening or reusing an already open display window
displayWin = null;
function showDisplayWin( title )
{
if( typeof displayWin == "undefined" || displayWin == null ||
displayWin.closed )
{
displayWin = window.open( "about:blank", "DisplayWindow",
"resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes" );
displayWin.document.write( "<html><title>HTML</title>" +
"<body style=\"font:x-small
'Verdana';\">" +
"<nobr
id=x>working...</nobr></body></html>\n" );
}
else
displayWin.document.body.all("x").innerText = "working...";
displayWin.document.title = title;
displayWin.focus();
}
// Javascript function to place the transformed HTML in a
// separate display window
function display_html( )
{
// open or locate an already open second display window
showDisplayWin( "HTML" );
// get the XML document
xmlDoc = document.XMLDocument;
// get the stylesheet as assigned in the XML document
stylesheet = document.XSLDocument;
// get the root node (you may find better ways of doing this
// depending upon your situation)
node = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName( 'YourXMLRootNodeName' )[0];
// transform the XML using the stylesheet
output_text = node.transformNode( stylesheet );
// update the display window to show transformed HTML
// as actual HTML
displayWin.document.body.all("x").innerText = output_text;
}
You have two methods to tie the Javascript to a page:
1) Place a temporary input button on the page itself:
<input type="button" value="Display HTML" onclick="display_html()"
/>
Of course, this assumes you can get to the point where something
actually
displays in the browser window.
2) Tie the above Javascript to an item in IE's context menu (right mouse
button click). It's not terribly difficult but does require editing the
registry. More details can be found starting at:

Hope this helps...
