Re: [xsl] Using xsl:output in browsers, was: Re [xsl] XHTML html validation

["Manfred Staudinger" <manfred.staudinger@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've prepared two xml pages:
http://free.pages.at/staudinger/Regest/Namen/Rudolph_II.xml
the other one can be reached by _Rudolph_II.xml (note the
underscore before the name).
The first xml uses a stylesheet href="../view_names.xsl"
(which has indent="no") the second uses href="../_view_names.xsl"
(which has indent="yes").
Can you see the difference in IE 6 ?
