When you install the xml tools package for IE as others here have
suggested (which I highly recommend) you get a couple html files, one of
which looks like this:
<HTML>
<TITLE>XSL Transformation Ouput</TITLE>
<BODY>
<SCRIPT language="javascript" defer=true>
var win = external.menuArguments;
var doc = win.document;
var xmldoc = doc.XMLDocument;
var xsldoc = doc.XSLDocument;
if (!xmldoc)
{
win.alert("Not XML Document.");
}
else
{
try {
var srcwin =
win.open("about:blank","","resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes");
srcwin.document.write("<html><title>XSL Transformation
Ouput</title><body style=\"font:x-small 'Verdana';\"><nobr
id=x>working...</nobr></body></html>\n");
srcwin.document.body.all("x").innerText = xmldoc.transformNode(
xsldoc);
} catch (e) {
alert( "Error in 'View XSL Transform': "+e.description);
}
}
</SCRIPT>
</BODY>
</HTML>
So as you can see here the View XSL Output tool simply uses
doc.XMLDocument and doc.XSLDocument and outputs the results of
doc.XMLDocument.transformNode(doc.XSLDocument) to a new window. If your
output something other than HTML you'll have to View Source on the new
window to see the actual output from the transformation.
