Added META tag breaks Mozilla 2003-03-04 - By zongaro@(protected)
Hi Paul,
Is the output of your transform supposed to be XML or HTML? If the
output method is html, an XSLT processor should output a META tag as part
of the content of an HTML HEAD element. Because META is an empty HTML
element, it's written using the empty-tag syntax of HTML - namely:
<META attr=val attr=val ... >
as opposed to the XML empty-tag syntax:
<META attr=val attr=val ... />
It sounds like the output of your transformation is an HTML document
that is being treated by Mozilla as an XML input document, for some
reason.
Thanks,
Henry

Subject: Added META tag breaks Mozilla
Hello,
I get this error when running a simple transform in a
servlet:
XML Parsing Error: mismatched tag. Expected: </META>.
Location:
http://localhost:8080/diaries/servlet/ParseDiaries
Line Number 18, Column 3:
</HEAD>
--^
Xalan is adding a META tag without adding a close -
and it's refusing to display in Mozilla. I tried
inserting a </META> close in the xsl stylesheet, but
that bombs of course. How can I suppress that META
tag? Or force it to add the </META>? Interestingly,
if I add my own meta tag with it's own close tag,
Xalan will remove my </META> close tag then add it's
own META tag (without close) just ahead of mine.
Which leaves two identical META tags, neither with
close tags, and this of course generates the same
error.
I looked for information on this in the archives and
in Google, and I can see it's part of the spec to add
this tag - but no one says how to suppress it or force
it to be a complete tag with a close.
Thanks for any help.
