Thanks, but I'm assuming that if Netscape 6.1 can handle the XML correctly (i.e. transform it to XHTML using the XSL file) when it loads it from a file, rather than being passed it from the CGI script, then the XML and the XHTML must be valid.

It would be nice to be able to capture the XHTML produced by the XSL file and then run it on W3C's validator to check that it's 100% valid, but the XHTML gets generated invisibly inside the browser. Doing a "View Source" just shows the XML. However, I'm pretty sure it is valid XHTML.

I've checked the Mozilla XSLT project page but it didn't help. It says that the stylesheet should be text/xml as well as the source, but if I use text/xml rather than text/xsl
a) Netscape 6.1 won't transform it, even when I load the XML from a file
b) IE won't transform it either.

I've also checked that I'm using the correct namespace for xsl (as specified on the Mozilla XSLT project page).

I've pretty much run out of ideas. Somebody else must have come up against this problem. There's got to be a solution out there.

I could of course just do it the easy way and get the Perl script to write the HTML. But I want to do the transformation on the client side. And I keep hearing how Mozilla/Netscape is All-Good and IE is the Pure Evil, so how come it works flawlessly in IE whereas Netscape 6.1 just acts dumb and shows me the XML?
