I use an XSL stylesheet to parse an XML document into html. The problem is
that one of the XML elements contains HTML tags and the stylesheet renders
it as text in IE5. Below is the XML element:
<?xml version = "1.0"?>
<root_node>
<child_node>
<category>1011</category>
<target>http://www.mysite.com/script.fgi?cat=1011&uid=2000204484&tim
eid=1668</target>
<image>http://www.mysite.com/img/image.jpg</image>
<link><font face=helvetica size=2><b>this thing
costs</b><br>$219.00</font></text>
</child_node>
</root_node>
This is a portion of the XSL document I am using to parse this XML:
<a><xsl:attribute name="href"><xsl:value-of select="target"/>
</xsl:attribute>Target!!!</a>
<img><xsl:attribute name="src">
<xsl:value-of select="image"/>
</xsl:attribute></img>
<xsl:value-of select="text"/>
The 1st one renders a hypertext link, the 2nd an image. The 3rd renders the
contents of <text> literally.
I need to have <text> rendered as it looks like it should, as HTML with the
<font> and other elements used
in the resultant rendered HTML. I've looked everywhere for an example of
this, but no luck.
Any suggestions?
