Thanks for your reply.

I agree with both of your points but after modifying the js as follows

  if (xslhttprequest.status==200 || xslhttprequest.status==0)
    {
    href = document.location.href;
    xslprocessor.importStylesheet(xslhttprequest.responseXML);
    xslprocessor.setParameter(null, "uri", href);
 
xhtml=xslprocessor.transformToFragment(xmlhttprequest.responseXML,document);
    // Replace HTML page with XHTML

    //This works in Mozilla (not with DTD) and Opera and Apollo
    while (document.hasChildNodes())
    {
    document.removeChild(document.lastChild);
    }
    document.appendChild(xhtml);
    }

For

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<script src="build_page.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body onload="transform('canobie_series');">
test
</body>
</html>

Firefox 2.0 renders it in quirk mode

but for

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://
www.w3.org/TR/xthml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<script src="build_page.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body onload="transform('canobie_series');">
test
</body>
</html>

Firefox 2,0 does not render it in normal mode

where the xslt is the same and has the following xsl:output

<xsl:output method="xml"
version="1.0"
encoding="utf-8"
doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"
indent="no"/>

in both cases

Changing the xsl:output method to "html" makes no different in either
case in that the one without the DTD renders and the one with does
not.
