I have a stylesheet called 'copy.xsl', like this: <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method="html" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" media-type="text/html" doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:copy-of select='.'/> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> and then insert <?xml-stylesheet type='text/xsl' href='copy.xsl'?> into the XML I am returning - you'd have to make sure that the href actually points to your file with an absolute URL, to be certain... That seems to work - IE7 sees the xml-stylesheet PI and doesn't then try to mangle the XML in it's own special way. Only problem is the extra hit on the server to get the XSLT... :( -- Peter Ford phone: 01580 893333 Developer fax: 01580 893399 Justcroft International Ltd., Staplehurst, Kent
