Added META tag breaks Mozilla - resolved 2003-03-04 - By Paul Warner
Thanks to everyone who answered - you guys are great.
I found the error - in the servlet code I'm modifying,
the content type for the response object was being set
to "text/xml". I missed that. This was overriding
the setting in the xsl stylesheet, which is clearly
set to "html". The link to:
http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/usagepatterns.html#outputprops
mentioned that the Writer will override the setting in
the xsl file, so that's why I started looking for it.
Thanks again for the help - and sorry for the trouble.
I hope this thread helps someone.
Now that Mozilla knows its getting html, I've removed
the omit-meta-tag line from the xsl, and it's handling
the automatically inserted meta tag fine now.
Thanks,
Paul Warner
