asked on

Microsoft.XMLDOM

Usign an ASP page I am generting an XML document and using XSL I want to display it. The xml is generated but I want to check whether it is properly generated or not . Is there any method to save teh xml from the XMLDOM?
Wehn i use the XSL file for presentation, I am getting the following error

msxml3.dll (0x80004005)
The stylesheet does not contain a document element. The stylesheet may be empty, or it may not be a well-formed XML document.

Does anybody know the reason ?

The stylesheet may be empty, or it may not be a well-formed XML document, e.g. your XSL file is not properlly loaded or invalid

Check also that you're NOT using "Microsoft.XMLDOM" for the XML and XSL progID, and that you're not using the old WD-xsl namespace in your XSLT.  

Use "Msxml2.DomDocument" or "Msxml2.DomDocument.4.0" for the XML and XSL objects, and your stylesheet root element should look like:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

Post your complete XSLT, along with the ASP code you're using, and we'll have a look.

As far as checking to see if the XML is generated or not, do this (JavaScript on the server, because friends don't let friend program in VBScript! ;^)

<%@language=JScript%>
<%
try
{
      var xmlDoc = Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.DomDocument");
      xmlDoc.async = false;
      xmlDoc.resolveExternals = false;
      xmlDoc.validateOnParse = false;
      xmlDoc.load(Server.MapPath("/virtual/path/to/myXml.xml"))
      var err = xmlDoc.parseError
      if (err.errorCode > 0)
      {
            Response.Write("<br>Error Parsing XML: <br>" + err.reason)
      }
      else
      {
            Response.ContentType = "text/xml";
            xmlDoc.save(Response);
      }
}
catch(e)
{
      Response.Write("<br>Error with XML: <br>" + e.description)
}
%>

Following is the XSL file

<?xml version = "1.0" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl = "http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version = "1.0">
  <xsl:import href = "../../XSL/AIS_List.xsl"/>


  <xsl:template match = "/">
    <xsl:apply-templates select = "Page"/>
  </xsl:template>
 
  <HTML>
  <BODY>
  <Table>
  <TR>
   <TD>
  <xsl:value-of select = "List/Header/GP_ID"/>

Please change the asp file little bit to generate a dataset as ur own and then c. The program is generating th XML (I checked printing [XML object].XML. so I assume the problem is somewhere in the XSL.

Also, the XSLT you posted is not well formed.  No closing stylesheet tag, for one.  Also, this:

 <xsl:import href = "../../XSL/AIS_List.xsl"/>

might be importing templates that are not well formed.  Check the XSLT and all it's parts for well-formedness!
