Hi!
I am trying to create an SVG image from an XML-encoded spatial dataset by
running it trough an XSLT process. I have done this succesfully on the
server side using a Java servlet-based processing with Xalan XSLT processor.
Now I am trying to do the same at the client side with MSXML parser on IE
5.5. I have updated the parser to the version 3.0 and I am using Adobe SVG
Viewer plugin.
This is my XSLT file (GML2SVG.xslt, just a very simple basic test) (I have
tried aslo media-type="image/svg"):
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" media-type="svg-xml"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">
<![CDATA[ <!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 20000303 Stylable//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/03/WD-SVG-20000303/DTD/svg-20000303-stylable.dtd"
> ]]>
</xsl:text>
<svg>
<rect x="10" y="10" width="100" height="100" />
</svg>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
...which is referenced in the XML-file as follows:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="GML2SVG.xslt"?>
....
I do not get the rectangle displayed. It seems like the browser not
recognized the precense of SVG and do not start up the plugin.
If I run the transformation separately (using MSXML through XSLT Test Tool
by Joshua Allen), store the result in a file with .svg extension and open it
in IE, it would display without problems.
What might be the solution? Basically: how I make IE to recognize the
transformed XML as an SVG image?
With many thanks,
