User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; rv:47.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/47.0 Build ID: 20160623154057 Steps to reproduce: file:///C:/w/Jesusnjim/menu7a.xml sorry, can't divulge source files. Actual results: Error loading stylesheet: An unknown error has occurred (805303f4)http://www.jesusnjim.com/menu7.xslt Expected results: not sure. I had thought the XML+XSLT should display HTML5, but it did not.
apparently the problem with the file is, <?xml-stylesheet type='text/xsl' href='http://www.Jesusnjim.com/menu7.xslt'?> should be <?xml-stylesheet type='text/xsl' href='http://j/menu7.xslt'?> so xslt file was not there on production site. btw, IE doesn't do XML or XHTML well. now it just outputs a plain white page with a 7 on it.

Hi Jim, Since the source files are confidential, can you provide a screenshot of the unknown error?

it's simply yellow background, black text with surrounding red box that says "Error loading stylesheet: Parsing an XSLT stylesheet failed." it's probably a catch-all error message for just about everything... <parsererror xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/newlayout/xml/parsererror.xml">Error loading stylesheet: Parsing an XSLT stylesheet failed.</parsererror>

btw, that error message could have information like line number, column, etc, just like js errors, yes? question is, do you want XML to be a viable platform on this browser? yea or nay?
the xsl I made is part of a menu system I devised, and that part is an alternate display method, but it fails miserably with no explanation, no details. it's like doing all your debugging of an embedded system with an LED that's just on or off. you can debug, yes, but it's not going to be anywhere near as easy as when you have logging data or a display to use. possible problems to throw certain types of errors on: missing / on no-close elements missing > missing < (angle brackets can be matched with a brace checker) boolean values having any value associated with them (see spec). using close tags on no-close elements missing close tag on elements that have an open tag missing matched quote that's just some basic syntax items.
