xsl and xml problem when loading into asp page.

[Jacqui1811]

When I run an asp page that uses an xml file and an xsl file I get the following message:

Error Type:
msxml2.dll (0x80004005)
The stylesheet does not contain a document element. The stylesheet may be empty, or it may not be a well-formed XML document.
/xmlTest/links.asp, line 71

Both the pages are in the same directory as the asp page and are part of a virtual web site.

I have the below code in my asp page loading the documents.
<%
dim objDoc
dim objStylesheet

set objDoc = server.CreateObject(&quot;Microsoft.XMLDOM&quot
set objStylesheet = server.CreateObject(&quot;Microsoft.XMLDOM&quot

objDoc.async=&quot;false&quot;
objStylesheet.async=&quot;false&quot;

objDoc.load server.mappath(&quot;links.xml&quot
objStylesheet.load server.mappath(&quot;links.xsl&quot

response.write (objDoc.transformNode(objStylesheet))

%>

The xsl and xml sheets are displaying okay when I load them into the browser on their own so they are well formed.

I have

Can anyone help me ?
Thanks

If you are using IE5.x the version of MSXML that you are viewing them with is version 2. It looks like you are trying to transform with version 3+. These are much more compliant with the XSL and XSLT specification. Try loading the XSLT into a dowloaded version of XML Spy trail and see what that says. Otherwise could you post the XSL. I had this issue last week and I changed my XSLT and got it to work no probs so I should be able to spot it.
