In-browser XSLT transformation without <?xml-stylesheet ?> directive?

[Chawmp]

Hi guys,

Let's say that I have an XML document that does not specify a stylesheet with <?xml-stylesheet ?>. I don't want to modify this file to include such a directive, since it is to be automatically generated by some other system.

I've written a stylesheet to format it ("layout.xsl"). How is it possible for me to instruct a browser (ie/firefox) to render the XML document, transformed with layout.xsl, without putting a <?xml-stylesheet ?> directive in the document?

Perhaps I could import the contents of the document into the stylesheet somehow (client-side)? Would something like that work?

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Yes you can. JavaScript can do it, although a server-side solution is preferable (faster and not everyone has javascript enabled).
