Re: [xml-dev] How do we call Javascript function in XSL file on Netscape (Ver 6.2) browser?

The html document your XSLT transform is creating is invalid according to
the HTML 4.01 DTD.  The only allowed content for the HTML element is (HEAD,
BODY).  You probably meant to put the link and SCRIPT elements into the HEAD
element.  Perhaps Netscape 6.2 is more standards-compliant and refuses to
accept illegal HTML?  It is useful in cases like these to run the output of
the style sheet through the W3C 'tidy' program.
