Re: TopXML Tutorial on XSLT and XPath

It actually got a little worse, or I discovered another bug, when I
changed the xml:stylesheet  to xml-stylesheet.

This is the namespace declaration in the samples given at TopXML
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl"

However, within the tutorial, on the same page just a little lower
down, the author correctly states that this is a previous standard and
no longer works.  (As I found to be true.)  The correct namespace is
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"

So, with the stylesheet declaration changed in the xml file and the
namespace declaration changed in the stylesheet file, all is well with
FF and IE.

Thanks for your insight, and I sent a link to this conversation to the
tutorial author.
