Tim Dorr Veteran Posted September 6, 2003 Veteran Share Posted September 6, 2003 works perfectly fine here. What IE version are you using? Is it repeatable in different threads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypoxiaicon Posted September 6, 2003 Author Share Posted September 6, 2003 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2 with all updates. when it first happened i refreshed about 5 times and it didnt do anything so i just went back neowin.net it just happens occasionally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glowstick Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 I wonder why your IE claims to be doing an XSL transform when there are no XSL files linked in the header on NW documents? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Dorr Veteran Posted September 6, 2003 Veteran Share Posted September 6, 2003 Because it's an internal XSL. IE does that to convert documents of varing DTD's (XHTML, HTML, XML) to a display format for IE to render. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glowstick Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 Uhm: - IE doesn't support XHTML at all, so it shouldn't perform any translation. Also putting the XML header and unconform XML in a .html file doesnt seem to bug IE either. At least it doesn't care here. - Most HTML isn't even remotely XML compliant, yet IE doesn't throw any XSL errors, thus there's no translation of anything.

Tim Dorr Veteran Posted September 7, 2003 Veteran Share Posted September 7, 2003 No, it does an internal translation after some validation and fix-up to compliance. Oh, and IE even supports up to XHTML 2.0 because of XSL :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hypoxiaicon Posted September 7, 2003 Author Share Posted September 7, 2003 yup ok, well hmmm... but it keeps happening... when i click one of the newest forum post that thing will come up occasionally and i cant get rid of it unless i actually go to another site and then come back, and also when i tried clicking the same link it did it again... so either my IE (latest version with ALL patches) is dodgy.. or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glowstick Posted September 7, 2003 Share Posted September 7, 2003 (edited) No, it does an internal translation after some validation and fix-up to compliance. Oh, and IE even supports up to XHTML 2.0 because of XSL :p From where do you have these infos from? Or rather, how do you know they're true? I've written intentionally wrong XHTML, and even set up file extensions with text/xhtml MIME type to get IE drop errors on the wrong XHTML, and it doesn't. Using text/xml as MIME type will get me these errors, but when fixing the errors, it will show me an XML outline and no webpage. --edit-- I almost forgot the best argument: Progressive HTML download, aka showing part of the page before the full HTML code has been downloaded. --edit2-- To push it even further, here are all loaded DLLs after firing up IE and letting it download the Neowin forum page. http://www.tomservo.cc/ientsd.txt I fail to any XML components to be loaded. MSXML is missing. But in this one, I make IE load an XML file with XSL: http://www.tomservo.cc/ientsd_xml.txt Thanks, no need to remind me that I'm a wisecracker. :) Edited September 7, 2003 by Tom Servo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Dorr Veteran Posted September 7, 2003 Veteran Share Posted September 7, 2003 Wisecracker :p First, I was and still am going off memory, so I probably am wrong.

Hypoxiaicon Posted September 7, 2003 Author Share Posted September 7, 2003 so .css file not loading properly, is that my fault or something ive done? or is neowin related? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Dorr Veteran Posted September 7, 2003 Veteran Share Posted September 7, 2003 It's just not getting through for some reason. Try this link and see if it works: https://www.neowin.net/themes/blue/style.css Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Well, you can still convince with proof that tells me wrong. :D But I'm also still interested to why IE freaks out on XML errors, where it's per theory not supposed to.

Iguana Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 Is anybody else getting an XML error on certain topics. It's randon, so it's impossible to tell which topic is going to give me an error. I tried searching, but clicking on the search button brings an XML error... So, am I the only one?
