problem with transformiix

[Maik Seyring]

hello to all of you

I have got a problem with the xslt-processor transformiix used by firefox.

The challange is to replace an special-character (within a string) with a
<br/>-tag.

it works fine with xsltproc but not with firefox(transformiix)

the code is the following:

<xsl:template name="replace-CR">
<xslaram name="input"/>
<xslaram name="search-string" select="'
'"/> <<<This is the problem

<xsl:variable name="temp"
select="string-length(substring-before($input,$search-string))"/>
<xsl:choose>

<xsl:when test="$temp or starts-with($input,$search-string)">
<xsl:value-of select="substring($input,1,$temp)"/>
<br/>

<xsl:call-template name="replace-CR">
<xsl:with-param name="input"
select="substring($input,$temp + string-length($search-string)+1)"/>
<xsl:with-param name="search-string" select="$search-string"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsltherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$input"/>
</xsltherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>


If the search-string param is an simple char or string the template works
fine with firefox.

Any hints?

Thx Maik Seyring

I'm surprised you got a result with xsltproc! The parser should replace all
carriage returns (#13 or #xD) with line feeds (#10 or #xA). If you replace
with
you should be fine.

it seems to be true.

The Transformiix-processor replace the carriage returns with line feeds, but
xsltproc does not. I solved this by

<xsl:if test="system-property('xsl:vendor')='Transformiix'">
....

But there is another Question about xslt.
My target was to replace carriage returns (line feeds) with <br/> but the
result in the html-file is <br>.

result in the html-file is <br>.

This depends on the output method.

My guess is that you have specified <xslutput method="html"/>. This will
output empty elements as you described.

Change this to <xslutput method="xml"/>
