XSTLProcessor bypass and tags

I have a XML and XSL file in client and want to transform it to a HTMLElement so that I can append to my current element



But the result is far from what I expected. Every seems fine except the <td> and <tr> tags is excluded in the HtmlElement result

My javascript code that used to transform and append result

var xslDoc = xslHttp.responseXML;

xsltProcessor = new XSLTProcessor();
xsltProcessor.importStylesheet(xslDoc);

//used to add to html document
var resultDocument = xsltProcessor.transformToFragment(xmlDoc, document);
console.log(resultDocument);
document.getElementById("xmlResult").appendChild(resultDocument);


My html result render



 <table class="table_result">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>header1 </th>

<th>header2 </th>
<th>header3 </th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody id="xmlResult">
</tbody>
</table>


I believe this is because of the XSLTProcessor that I use to transform, because I tried to transform it with my IDE's XSLT tool, and the result is perfectly correct

  • Does that problem occur with a particular browser or with all supporting XSLTProcessor? Can you reduce the problem to a minimum and insert it as an executable code snippet? Have you tried to have the XSLT create a complete HTML table and then to use Javascript to replace the existing table with the result fragment from the XSLT execution?

  • I am currently not sure what causes the problem but I guess due to the different ways browsers use XSLT (i.e. Firefox doing node to node transformation, Chrome using libxslt to serialize/parse and perhaps serialize again) trying to create a sequence of tr elements is asking for trouble.

  • I tried an example jsfiddle.net/bycptmL2/3 and it works in Firefox for me, not in Chrome. As I said, while both have the same API with XSLTProcessor and transformToFragment, I think their implementation approach, not to say, their whole architecture to integrate XSLT in the browser, differs vastly as far as I know, so that whole idea to to to have XSLT return a fragment with HTML tr elements to be inserted into a tbody is troublesome.

  • On the other hand, jsfiddle.net/bycptmL2/4, which only changes the XSLT to output XHTML tr element nodes, works in both Firefox and Chrome for me. Not sure about Edge, doesn't seem to work at all with that fiddle.

With current versions of Firefox, Chrome and Edge on Windows 10 1803 it works for me to have XSLT return a fragment with XHTML tr elements to then be inserted into the hosting HTML document and a tbody:






var domParser = new DOMParser();

var xmlString = `<root>
<item>
<value>foo 1</value>
<value>foo 2</value>
<value>foo 3</value>
</item>
<item>
<value>bar 1</value>
<value>bar 2</value>
<value>bar 3</value>
</item>
</root>`;

var xslString = `<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>

<xsl:template match="item">
<tr>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</tr>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="value">
<td>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</td>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>`;

var xmlInputDoc = domParser.parseFromString(xmlString, 'application/xml');

var xsltDoc = domParser.parseFromString(xslString, 'application/xml');

var xsltProc = new XSLTProcessor();
xsltProc.importStylesheet(xsltDoc);

var fragment = xsltProc.transformToFragment(xmlInputDoc, document);

console.log(fragment);

var table = document.getElementById('table1');

var tBody = document.getElementById('xmlResult');

tBody.appendChild(fragment);

<table id="table1" class="table_result">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>header1 </th>

<th>header2 </th>
<th>header3 </th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody id="xmlResult">
</tbody>
</table>

  • what'd happen if you set method='html' in the <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/> ?

    @Ziggy192, well, try yourself, in part (the method html) I tried that in jsfiddle.net/bycptmL2/3 (I did not use the XHTML namespace there as that doesn't seem to make sense together with output method html in XSLT 1) and that fiddle, as pointed out earlier in a comment, did not work as needed in Chrome.

    – Martin Honnen
    Nov 14 '18 at 9:13











  • Thank you @Martin! It works with the XHTML namespace and XML method. There's no document mentioned about my case. Should I consider this a bug of XSTLProcessor, or there's something wrong with my approach from the beginning ? Thanks again for your help, deeply appreciate it

  • There is no detailed spec on XSLTProcessor, it is just an API Mozilla introduced when it tried to integrate their own XSLT 1.0 implementation into their browser. Other followed the API, to ensure compatibility at the API level, but compatibility at finer levels has never worked well as the architectures of the XSLT integration are too different, as far as I understand it.

    – Martin Honnen
    Nov 14 '18 at 10:37











  • If you look at jsfiddle.net/bycptmL2/5 where no XSLT is used but just a sequence of tr elements is parsed as HTML you see that the tr and td elements are dropped as well, so not any snippet of HTML works well as a standalone fragment. That is, as as I guess, the main problem here, with your original approach browsers like Chrome take the result of XSLT as a string and feed it to the HTML parser which drops the out of context tr/td elements. If you switch to output method xml and use the XHTML namespace then you don't have the HTML parser in between dropping elements.

With current versions of Firefox, Chrome and Edge on Windows 10 1803 it works for me to have XSLT return a fragment with XHTML tr elements to then be inserted into the hosting HTML document and a tbody:






var domParser = new DOMParser();

var xmlString = `<root>
<item>
<value>foo 1</value>
<value>foo 2</value>
<value>foo 3</value>
</item>
<item>
<value>bar 1</value>
<value>bar 2</value>
<value>bar 3</value>
</item>
</root>`;

var xslString = `<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>

<xsl:template match="item">
<tr>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</tr>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="value">
<td>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</td>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>`;

var xmlInputDoc = domParser.parseFromString(xmlString, 'application/xml');

var xsltDoc = domParser.parseFromString(xslString, 'application/xml');

var xsltProc = new XSLTProcessor();
xsltProc.importStylesheet(xsltDoc);

var fragment = xsltProc.transformToFragment(xmlInputDoc, document);

console.log(fragment);

var table = document.getElementById('table1');

var tBody = document.getElementById('xmlResult');

tBody.appendChild(fragment);

<table id="table1" class="table_result">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>header1 </th>

<th>header2 </th>
<th>header3 </th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody id="xmlResult">
</tbody>
</table>

  • what'd happen if you set method='html' in the <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/> ?

    @Ziggy192, well, try yourself, in part (the method html) I tried that in jsfiddle.net/bycptmL2/3 (I did not use the XHTML namespace there as that doesn't seem to make sense together with output method html in XSLT 1) and that fiddle, as pointed out earlier in a comment, did not work as needed in Chrome.

  • Thank you @Martin! It works with the XHTML namespace and XML method. There's no document mentioned about my case. Should I consider this a bug of XSTLProcessor, or there's something wrong with my approach from the beginning ? Thanks again for your help, deeply appreciate it

  • There is no detailed spec on XSLTProcessor, it is just an API Mozilla introduced when it tried to integrate their own XSLT 1.0 implementation into their browser. Other followed the API, to ensure compatibility at the API level, but compatibility at finer levels has never worked well as the architectures of the XSLT integration are too different, as far as I understand it.

  • If you look at jsfiddle.net/bycptmL2/5 where no XSLT is used but just a sequence of tr elements is parsed as HTML you see that the tr and td elements are dropped as well, so not any snippet of HTML works well as a standalone fragment. That is, as as I guess, the main problem here, with your original approach browsers like Chrome take the result of XSLT as a string and feed it to the HTML parser which drops the out of context tr/td elements. If you switch to output method xml and use the XHTML namespace then you don't have the HTML parser in between dropping elements.
