Examples of stylesheets for testing XML output

Here are two examples of XSLT stylesheets that are useful for testing XML output.

1 The following stylesheet example outputs the requested XML data without doing any transformation.

This stylesheet is useful for displaying the actual XML data that the Web Publishing Engine is using.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"

xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"

xmlns:fmrs="http://www.filemaker.com/xml/fmresultset">

<xsl:output method="xml"/>

<xsl:template match="/">

<xsl:copy-of select="."/>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

1 When debugging a stylesheet, you can use the following example of an HTML <textarea> tag to display the

XML source document that was accessed via the stylesheet in a scrolling text area. On the same page, you

can compare the transformed XSLT results against the XML source document before the transformation.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"

xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"

xmlns:fmrs="http://www.filemaker.com/xml/fmresultset">

<xsl:output method="html"/>

<html>

<body>

<xsl:template match="/fmrs:fmresultset">

<xsl:copy-of select="."/>

</textarea><br/>

</xsl:template>

</body>

</html>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Monitoring your site
