I'm trying to embed an xsl into a XML file. The reason for doing this is to create a single file that could be moved to different computers, this would prevent the need to move the xsl file.
The xsl file is creating a table and grabbing a test step from the xml and whether it passed or failed, pretty simple.
The issue I'm having, I think, is that the xsl has javascript and its being displayed when the xml is loaded in IE.
When I load the xml file with IE, the javascript is displayed above the table and below the table the xml is displayed.
Here is how my document is laid-out :
<!DOCTYPE doc [
<!ATTLIST xsl:stylesheet
id ID #REQUIRED>
]>
<doc>
<xsl:stylesheet id="4.1.0"
version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
xmlns:user="http://www.ni.com/TestStand"
xmlns:vb_user="http://www.ni.com/TestStand/" >
<xsl:template match="xsl:stylesheet" />
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">
<msxsl:script language="vbscript" implements-prefix="vb_user">
option explicit
'This function will return the localized decimal point for a decimal number
Function GetLocalizedDecimalPoint ()
dim lDecPoint
lDecPoint = Mid(CStr(1.1),2,1)
GetLocalizedDecimalPoint = lDecPoint
End Function
</msxsl:script>
<msxsl:script language="javascript" implements-prefix="user"><

XSLT is used to transform XML document from one form to another form. XSLT uses Xpath to perform matching of nodes to perform these transformation . The result of applying XSLT to XML document could be an another XML document, HTML, text or any another document from technology perspective.
XSL uses a XML notation, CSS uses its own. In CSS, the formatting object tree is almost the same as the source tree, and inheritance of formatting properties is on the source tree.
XML documents have structure but no format. Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) adds formatting to XML documents. XSL provides a way of displaying XML semantics. It can map XML elements into other formatting langauges such as HTML.
Although the W3C XSLT Spec supports embedding an XSLT stylesheet into an XML document, it seems that IE and Firefox do not support this.
UPDATE: As per the comment by Robert Niestroj, years later, in Oct. 2014, this works in FireFox 33.
However, there is a good alternative: embed the XML document into the XSLT stylesheet.
Below is an example.
An XSLT stylesheet containing an embedded XML document:
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="myEmbedded.xml"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
<xsl:variable name="vEmbDoc">
<doc>
<head></head>
<body>
<para id="foo">Hello I am foo</para>
</body>
</doc>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:template match="para">
<h1><xsl:value-of select="."/></h1>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="xsl:template"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>
When tis file is opened in IE, the wanted result is displayed by the browser:
Do note, that it is necessary to include templates that ignore most of the XSLT instructions (in this case we are ignoring any <xsl:template> by simply having no template body.
