Hi All,
I know this probably isn't the best forum for this, although, I would
love to hear how the processor handles this, anyway, here's my question.
I have an XSLT that is transforming some data into HTML. I am trying to
generate some HTML code in a template, but for some reason, the BR tags
are not being added to the result. Strangely enough, if I do this in the
XSLT in a literal way, it works just fine. I'm checking these out in the
IE and Netscape browsers, and I get the same results for both, so I'm
pretty sure it's not a bug.
Here is an example of the code. I tried to make it as accurate to what
I was doing as possible, so it is a touch verbose (sorry about that, but
it might be pertinent). I have also attached the 2 example files:
