I want to use JavaScript to show my XSLT, but on my server nothing is showing up in the browser.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN>

<html>

<head>

<script type=text/javascript src=http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.2/jquery.min.js></script>

<script type=text/javascript src=main.js></script>

<meta http-equiv=Content-Language content=en-us/>

</head>

<body>

<script language=javascript>

    function displayMessage() {

        // Load XML 



        var xml = new ActiveXObject(Microsoft.XMLDOM)

        xml.async = false

        xml.load(site-index.xml)



        // Load the XSL

        var xsl = new ActiveXObject(Microsoft.XMLDOM)

        xsl.async = false

        xsl.load(site-index.xsl)



        // Transform

        document.write(xml.transformNode(xsl))

    }

</script>

</body>

</html>

The browser can perform the tranform for you. No javascript is needed, just link the .xsl from the .xml like this:

<?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?>

<?xml-stylesheet type=text/xsl href=site-index.xsl ?>

and just serve the xml, no html. Assuming your .xsl contains the right code, along the lines

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

<xsl:output method=html version=4.01 indent=yes/>

<xsl:output doctype-system=http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd/>

<xsl:output doctype-public=-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN/>
